Refillable point source for motion correction during first-pass radionuclide angiography.

abstract：:When preparing 99Tcm-exametazime, it is important to use sodium 99Tcm-pertechnetate that is less than 2 h old. The addition of sodium iodide (NaI) to 99Tcm-pertechnetate is known to extend this time to 6 h. This paper describes a technique for implementing this in routine practice. Sterile kits consisting of 440 micro...

abstract：:A gamma extremity monitoring system (GEMS) has been used to measure finger doses during radio-nuclide dispensing procedures. GEMS uses a small semi-conductor probe that can be attached to a finger from which a continuous read-out can be obtained that is related to dose rate. The pattern of dose accumulation can be ana...
