^<47>Ca ABSORPTION TEST USING SCINTILLATION CAMERA

Clinical Significance of Scintillation Camera Electronics

Recent advances in collimator design and detector size, combined with radiopharmaceuticals having high photon yield, have resulted in diagnostic tests that may deliver photon fluxes in excess of the levels at which scintillation cameras can process the data. Moreover, these high rates of photon input may im pair certain parameters of image quality (1 ,2). For certain diagnostic tests, such as c...

Atraumatic CBF Measurement With the Scintillation Camera

A scintillation camera connected to a dedicated computer system was employed for atraumatic CBF measurements in 43 patients after intravenous injection of 35 to 55 raCi Xe in saline solution. To validate this method results were compared to flow values in the same patients measured after intracarotid Xe injection. While the correlation between i.e. and i.v. values was not satisfactory when a hi...

Using Xenon-133 and a scintillation camera to evaluate pulmonary function.

tion has been given to evaluating pulmonary disease using radioisotopic techniques. The majority of the radioactive preparations used for these studies can be divided into two general categories : colloidal aggregates of albumin and radioactive gases. Macro aggregates labeled with 1311or 99@'Tchave been used extensivelyfor determining regional pulmonary per fusion and, as such, are useful for e...
