Contruction and physical parameters of multiscan whole-body scanner (in Czech)
The construction of a commercial whole-body scanner which permits scanning in the form of a photographic picture, and the distribution in the human body of the activity of gamma emitters having an energy of up to 1.3 MeV, at relatively short intervals are described. The results are presented of the measurement of physical parameters affecting the scanning possibilities of a Model No. 602 Multiscan, produced by Cyclotron Corporation. The resulting radiometric parameters are listed. The results of measurement show that the device can be used in the whole-body scanning of the distribution of the activity of gamma emitters applied in routine procedures, such as 100 mu Ci of /sup 85/ Sr, with a position resolution of 25 to 50 mm in a tissue layer in a height of up to 100 mm above the Multiscan table.
