A rotating cardiac phantom with three possible ejection fraction (EF) values was used in
conjunction with a scintillation camera employing energy correction and count skim …

This is the second in a series of four continuing education articles on scintillation camera
technology. After reading this article, the reader should be able to: 1) discuss the causes for …

A method is proposed for quantifying the intrinsic linearity of a scintillation camera for quality
assurance purposes. The distance between adjacent holes in the image of a Smith …

iscompressed by 0.4 mm toward its center from all directions (as might be the case over the …

We investigated the effect of photon energy in testing field uniformity using two cameras of
types not previously reported in the literature. They will be referred to as Camera A and …

Quantitative studies performed with scintillation detectors often require corrections for lost
data because of the finite resolving time of the detector. Methods that monitor losses by …

A miniature, non-imaging caesium iodide nuclear probe optically coupled to a photodiode
(the'Cardioscint') has been developed which, in conjunction with a modified personal …

Abstract Characterization of the count-rate performance of scintillation cameras should
include not only the specification of count losses. At high count rates, there is also an image …

A methodology for correcting scintillation camera nonuniformity resulting from spatial
linearity distortion is described. The method simultaneously corrects for both variations in …
