An Amplifier Providing Fixed Background Elimination and Contrast Enhancement in Scanning Systems

R. E. Clark1 and R. A. Shipley, M.D.

Cleveland, Ohio

ABSTRACT

The design is presented of an amplifier capable of producing radioisotope scans of increased contrast through use of fixed background elimination and an internally generated continuously variable read out signal which is a function of the net observed counting rate. Scans are shown for comparison of the response of the amplifier with that of a conventional system employing dot factor attenuation.
