    摘要: For dose calibration (39) in functional imaging, different precision sources (22, 25) for a same long-lived isotope are used to calibrate, avoiding having to ship one source from one location to another location. A ratio of sensitivities of a gas ion chamber-based dose calibrator (20) at a reference laboratory to the precision source (22) of the long-lived isotope to a source (23) with an isotope to be used for imaging is found. At the clinical site (e.g., radio-pharmacy or functional imaging facility), a measure (34) of the sensitivity of a local gas ion chamber-based dose calibrator (24) to the other source (25) with the long-lived isotope and the ratio from the remote gas ion chamber-based dose calibrator (20) are used to determine sensitivity of the local gas ion chamber-based dose calibrator (24) to the isotope of the radiopharmaceutical (26). The bias and corresponding dose for the radiopharmaceutical (26) to be used for imaging a patient are based on activity for the radiopharmaceutical (26) as calibrated to account for the sensitivity of the local gas ion chamber-based dose calibrator (24) to the isotope of the radiopharmaceutical (26).

    摘要: For dead time compensation, a point source with a same radioisotope as used for the radiopharmaceutical is positioned by the detector. Counts from the point source without the patient and with the patient are used to correct the system or detector sensitivity. Reconstruction is performed with the sensitivity normalized for count rate, compensating for the dead time and spectral broadening.

    摘要: A detector of a gamma camera is configured such that a radioactive point source is positioned within a field of view at a fixed distance from the detector. A predetermined number of gamma photons emitted by the point source and passed through a collimator are acquired. A system-specific planar sensitivity is computed for a combination of the collimator and detector using the number of gamma photons acquired, a time duration of the acquisition, and precalibrated radioactivity data of the point source corrected for decay that occurred after a precalibration time. A deviation of the computed system-specific planar sensitivity from a class standard sensitivity value for a combination of the radioactive point source, the collimator, and the detector is computed. A class standard sensitivity value for a combination of a radiopharmaceutical, the collimator, and the detector is scaled by the computed deviation, yielding a scaled system-specific sensitivity value for the radiopharmaceutical.

    摘要: Cross-calibration is provided for functional imaging. In PET or SPECT, the inaccuracies from the dose and detector sensitivity may be reduced or removed in both activity concentration and uptake. By using measures from both the radiotracer for the patient and factory calibrated sources, the variability due to dose may be removed. In SPECT, a measurement of system specific sensitivity to a factory calibrated point source is used to improve the accuracy of uptake values, not just activity concentration.
