Toot

Three facts:

Today I got an injection of a radioactive sugar tracer (fluoro-deoxyglucose) for a PET-CT scan.

The tracer is eliminated from the body via the kidneys.

I have a home-made cloud chamber.

Unfortunately I could see no trails from my... sample. The thorium sample was still pinging away, so I guess the walls of the container are too thick? Or maybe the gamma rays don't trigger the nucleation to form the trails?

CW: A small yellowish bottle.
