beam monitor chamber
Figure 3.8. In this location, although the chamber is protected as far as practicable from backscatter that arises from the adjustable collimator jaws, it will still be subject to some…
parallel plate ionization chamber
Figure 3.7) is defined by the cross-sectional area of the collecting electrode and the separation between the plates. Interactions with the lateral walls of the chamber generate ions primarily at…
of the radionuclide imaging process
Chapter 7. A radionuclide is an unstable isotope of an element that will spontaneously ‘decay’ by the emission of particles and/or electromagnetic radiation. The three most common emissions from radionuclides…
Introduction
1]. Nuclear medicine is the science and clinical application of unsealed radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic and investigative purposes and this includes imaging. A suitable radionuclide or isotope is combined with a…
