What is PD IEC TR 61948-2 - Control methods for single-photon scintillation cameras with parallel hole collimators about?
PD IEC TR 61948 discusses nuclear medicine instrumentation routine tests. PD IEC TR 61948 is an international standard that provides control methods for single-photon scintillation cameras with parallel hole collimators.
PD IEC TR 61948-2 is the second part of a multi-part series that is valid for single-photon scintillation cameras with parallel hole collimators used in planar scintigraphy and tomography. PD IEC TR 61948-2 is also valid for the SPECT portion of SPECT/CT systems with parallel hole collimators, including the co-registration between the SPECT and CT subsystems.
PD IEC TR 61948-2 objective is to specify routine tests for quality control methods for the acceptance test are described in IEC 61675-2.
Who is PD IEC TR 61948-2 - Nuclear medicine instrumentation for?
PD IEC TR 61948-2 on control methods for single-photon scintillation cameras with parallel hole collimators is useful for:
- Scintillation cameras manufacturers
- Medical laboratories
- Regulatory authorities
- Notified bodies for nuclear medicine instrumentation
Why should you use PD IEC TR 61948-2 - Nuclear medicine instrumentation?
A single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) scans lets doctors analyze the functions of some of your internal organs. A SPECT scan is a type of nuclear imaging test, that means it uses a radioactive substance and a special camera to create 3D pictures.
PD IEC TR 61948-2 guideline assists you with energy window setting, background, constancy of sensitivity, non-uniformity, pixel size, and resolution/linearity for planar imaging. PD IEC TR 61948-2 also assists you with the center of rotation, tomographic non-uniformity, and SPECT/CT co-registration for single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).
This assists you to standardise quality control methods for single-photon scintillation cameras with parallel hole collimators used in planar scintigraphy and tomography.
In addition, by adopting PD IEC TR 61948-2 quality can be maintained for single-photon scintillation cameras with parallel hole collimators throughout their lifecycle.
