Quality Control Procedure of Clinical Nuclear Medicine Instruments and Comparisons with Standard Protocol (At DINAR Cancer Hospital D. I. Khan)

Abstract

Quality control of clinical Nuclear medicine instruments” i.e. used, used in this research work i.e. radioisotope dose calibrator and SPECT gamma camera is most important for reliable operational characteristics in this research work different tests has been done taking data from “ GE- Infinia Hawkeye” SPECT Gamma camera at “DINAR” Cancer hospital D.I.Khan.Auto zero, background, linearity, geometry, constancy and accuracy tests were performed in the case of radioisotopes dose calibrator while tests performed in case of SPECT gamma camera includes background, energy peak, C.O.R and uniformity tests. In conclusion, all the obtained results were within acceptable range stated in operational manual of “GE- Infinia hawk eye” SPECT Gamma Camera and that of radioisotopes dose calibrator was in accordance with IAEA (International atomic energy agency).Thus “Radioisotopes dose calibrator” and “SPECT gamma camera” is in good working condition at DINAR cancer hospital D.I.Khan
