Nuclear medicine scans use small amounts of radioactive dye (tracer) to highlight areas of concern, such as cancer cells or infection. Pictures can than be taken of these areas. There are many types of nuclear medicine scans, including: A special dye called a radioactive isotope, or tracer, is given through an IV. This tracer contains a small amount of radiation, about the same amount as an x-ray. The dye travels through the body and gathers in the area of the body being examined.
Hematoxylin, a natural dye product, acts as a basic dye that stains blue or black. Nuclear heterochromatin stains blue and the cytoplasm of cells rich in ribonucleoprotein also stains blue. The cytoplasm of cells with minimal amounts of ribonucleoprotein tends to be lavender in color. The aniline dye, eosin, is an acid dye that stains cytoplasm, muscle, and connective tissues various shades of pink and orange. This difference in staining intensity is useful in differentiating one tissue from another.
