Acceptance testing and quality control of gamma cameras, including SPECT.
The measurement of several performance parameters of a scintillation camera at the time of installation and thereafter at regular intervals is necessary to ensure that the camera is operating within specifications and to detect changes over time that can initiate a request for service. There are varied opinions on what constitutes a satisfactory acceptance test and quality control program. Few ...
متن کاملEvaluation of performance quality of SPECT camera in Shariati Hospital of Tehran University of Medical Sciences [Persian]
In nuclear medicine, there are two methods of imaging, planar and tomography. Single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) shows better image details and therefore is influenced more by image parameters such as resolution, uniformity, sensitivity, etc. Manufacturers provide customers with data which are obtained by complicated and sometimes secret methods. Marketing companies te...

متن کاملNew approach for calibration of pixelated scintillation detectors of intraoperative gamma cameras
Introduction:SURGEOSIGHT is a dedicated intra-operative hand-held gamma camera designed and manufactured by our team to be used for lymphoscintigraphy. Although conventional gamma cameras are widely used, they lack the capability of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) imaging in the operation room. Like conventional gamma cameras it is necessary to calibrate SURGEOSIGHT for linearity...
متن کاملEvaluation of iterative reconstruction method and attenuation correction on brain dopamine transporter SPECT using anthropomorphic striatal phantom
Objective(s): The aim of this study was to determine the optimal reconstruction parameters for iterative reconstruction in different devices and collimators for dopamine transporter (DaT) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The results were compared between filtered back projection (FBP) and different attenuation correction (AC) methods.Methods: An anthropomorphic striatal phant...
