Modification of a rectilinear scanner to improve 67Ga scans. 1975

R S Cox, and D A Turner, and E W Fordham

A simple and inexpensive electrical modification of the pulse-height analyzers of the Ohio-Nuclear Model 84FD rectilinear scanner, which allows the use of wide pulse-height intervals, is described. The modified instrument is applied to 67Ga scanning, in which the increase acceptance of gamma rays produces scans of increased count density and improved image quality.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
