PD IEC TR 61948 discusses nuclear medicine instrumentation routine tests. PD IEC TR 61948 is an international standard that provides control methods for single-photon scintillation cameras with parallel hole collimators.
PD IEC TR 61948-2 is the second part of a multi-part series that is valid for single-photon scintillation cameras with parallel hole collimators used in planar scintigraphy and tomography. PD IEC TR 61948-2 is also valid for the SPECT portion of SPECT/CT systems with parallel hole collimators, including the co-registration between the SPECT and CT subsystems.
PD IEC TR 61948-2 objective is to specify routine tests for quality control methods for the acceptance test are described in IEC 61675-2.
PD IEC TR 61948-2 on control methods for single-photon scintillation cameras with parallel hole collimators is useful for:
A single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) scans lets doctors analyze the functions of some of your internal organs. A SPECT scan is a type of nuclear imaging test, that means it uses a radioactive substance and a special camera to create 3D pictures.
PD IEC TR 61948-2 guideline assists you with energy window setting, background, constancy of sensitivity, non-uniformity, pixel size, and resolution/linearity for planar imaging. PD IEC TR 61948-2 also assists you with the center of rotation, tomographic non-uniformity, and SPECT/CT co-registration for single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).
This assists you to standardise quality control methods for single-photon scintillation cameras with parallel hole collimators used in planar scintigraphy and tomography.
In addition, by adopting PD IEC TR 61948-2 quality can be maintained for single-photon scintillation cameras with parallel hole collimators throughout their lifecycle.
PD IEC TR 61948-2:2019 supersedes IEC TR 61948-2:2019, which has been withdrawn. PD IEC TR 61948-2:2019 has made some technical changes with respect to IEC TR 61948-2:2019. These includes:
