Quality control for scintillation cameras. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7292405
In order to insure the detectability of faults that may occur in the imaging performance of a scintillation camera system, a monitoring program establishing quality control should be implemented in every facility using these devices. The production of high quality images on a long-term basis can only be accomplished by monitoring the operational status of a scintillation camera at frequent intervals. This report summarizes the components of quality control program and outlines most useful quality control techniques for scintillation cameras. Recommendations based on a minimum daily monitoring program will be presented. In addition the report contains a flow chart of operational and quality control procedures for scintillation cameras, a glossary of performance parameters and terms, and a compilation of multipurpose phantoms available for use in nuclear medicine.
