✦ Synopsis

We describe a semi-automatic, computerized method of quantitative densitometry for regional analysis of whole brain autoradiographs. The technique features menu-driven software and verbal prompting for data via a speech synthesizer. Advantages over manual methods include an 80% reduction in the time required for data collection, easy retrieval and statistical analysis of data, and the production of a large data base for future use. The application of this system to the [14C]2-deoxy-D-glucose autoradiographic method for measurement of local cerebral glucose utilization is described. This system makes available computerized densitometry at a modest cost.

A video based scanning system had been developed for processing DNA autoradiographs (T. Catterick and J.R. Russell, Lab. Microcomput. (1991), in press). Before the scanner was used in casework it was necessary to assess its performance. Test DNA samples containing fragments (alleles) of known kiloba
