Dose calibrator linearity test: 99mTc versus 18F radioisotopes*
OBJECTIVE The present study was aimed at evaluating the viability of replacing (18)F with (99m)Tc in dose calibrator linearity testing. MATERIALS AND METHODS The test was performed with sources of (99m)Tc (62 GBq) and (18)F (12 GBq) whose activities were measured up to values lower than 1 MBq. Ratios and deviations between experimental and theoretical (99m)Tc and (18)F sources activities were...
متن کاملDose Calibrator Linearity Testing Using an Improved Attenuator System
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) guidelines state that dose calibrators must be tested for linearity upon installation and quarterly thereafter over a range of activities from 10 ~J,Ci (370 kBq) to the highest dose administered to the patient (300 mCi [11.1 GBq] ofiodine-131 for therapy at our institution). The simplest method of linearity testing utilizes commercial attenuator kits. These k...
متن کاملDose Calibrator Performance and Quality Control
Two different dose calibrators were studied and their performance measured using the following tests: (A) linearity of response over all activity ranges, (B) accuracy when measuring some commonly used radionuclides, (C) the effect of container configuration on the accuracy of measurement, and (D) daily and long-term stability of the instrument. For each instrument tested, a good linear response...
متن کاملHow to Test for Linearity
Let us begin by discussing what we want to test. The FDA/ICH guidelines, starting from a univariate perspective, considers the relationship between the actual analyte concentration and what generically called the “test result”. This terminology therefore holds good for every analytical methodology from manual wet chemistry to the latest high-tech instrument. In the end, even the latest instrume...
متن کاملAccurate dose calibrator activity measurement of 90Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan.
UNLABELLED This investigation examined the accuracy of dose calibrator activity measurement of the beta-emitting radiopharmaceutical (90)Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan. METHODS Five different facilities independently measured (90)Y in a 10-mL syringe geometry with 30 dose calibrator models from 3 different manufacturers. The activities ranged from 81.4 MBq (2.2 mCi) to 1,406 MBq (38 mCi) over the vol...
