FIGURE 3. Correction factor (CF) as function of volume normalized to 6 mL, determined by site 3 based on average of measurements obtained on 3 CRC dose calibrators. Bold line ( ) represents results for sequential 1-mL volume withdrawal from 9 to 3 mL, and dashed line () represents results for sequential 1-mL volume addition from 3 to 9 mL. Volume dependence is 0.20%/mL and 0.11%/mL, respectively.
