PD IEC/TR 61948-3 is the third part of the multi-series international standard that focuses on Positron emission tomographs. PD IEC/TR 61948-3 describes test methods for POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHS (PET). As part of QUALITY CONTROL, PD IEC/TR 61948-3 is defining ROUTINE TESTS to be performed by the user of POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHS to maintain proper operating conditions.
PD IEC/TR 61948-3 on nuclear medicine instrumentation and routine tests with positron emission tomography is useful for:
Nuclear medicine imaging uses small amounts of radioactive materials called radiotracers that are typically injected into the bloodstream, inhaled, or swallowed. The radiotracer travels through the area being examined and gives off energy in the form of gamma rays which are detected by a special camera and a computer to create images of the inside of your body. PD IEC/TR 61948-3 provides unique information that often cannot be obtained using other imaging procedures and offers the potential to identify disease in its earliest stages.
