16、ners use solid, uniformly radioactive sources that are several millimeters thickwith areas up to 0.25 m2(called “flood” sources) to characterize and correct the extrinsic flood field unifor-mity of scintillation cameras for purposes of both quality assurance and on-line operational corrections.These

17、 radioactive sources are intended to produce a uniform radiation field across the cameras usable fieldof view. Methods to evaluate camera uniformity are described in NEMA NU 1-1994.1A broad range of flood sources is available in many sizes and configurations from a number of manufactur-ers. Such div

18、ersity suggests the need for a uniform means of reporting calibration data and a common under-standing of the parameters reported. This information can permit intercomparison of sources and givepractitioners a means to determine whether a particular source is appropriate for a given task.1.1 ScopeTh

19、e scope of this standard is limited to commercially-produced, solid radioactive flood sources intended toaid in the determination of the system field uniformity of scintillation cameras used in nuclear medicine.This standard is intended to provide a set of minimum informational requirements for a Te

20、st and Measure-ment Report for flood sources used with scintillation cameras. It is not intended to specify the means bywhich such information is obtained, although it does place requirements and limitations on the methodology.In addition, it is not intended to cover the use of the source in the det

21、ermination of the operating characteris-tics or correction factors for a scintillation camera.1.2 Special word usageThe words shallor mustindicate a procedure that is necessary to meet the requirements of this standard.

ReferencesThis standard shall be used in conjunction with the following publications. If the following publications aresuper

23、seded by an approved revision, the revision shall apply.ASTM E456-96, Standard Terminology for Relating to Quality and Statistics.2NEMA NU 1-1994, Performance Measurements of Scintillation Cameras.33. DefinitionsFor the purposes of this standard, the following terms and definitions apply:3.1 accurac

24、y: The closeness of agreement between a test result and an accepted reference value.(The word“accuracy” is to be understood as it is defined in ASTM E456-96.) 3.2 penumbra: The area over which the sensitivity of the measurement system falls from 90% of its maxi-mum value within the unit cell to 10%

25、of that value.3.3 statistical terminology:See:accuracyand uncertainty. 3.4 uncertainty: An indication of the variability associated with a measured value that takes into accounttwo major components of error: 1) bias, and 2) the random error attributed to the imprecision of the measure-ment process.(

26、The word “uncertainty” is to be understood as it is defined in ASTM E456-96.)3.5 uniformity:A quantitative description of the two-dimensional distribution of the photon flux emitted bya radioactive flood source, describing variations in that flux for specified areas.3.6 unit cell (UC):An area on the

27、 source to which a single localized measurement value applies. The UC isthe two-dimensional region (in the plane of the measured surface of a source) defined by the response of themeasurement system to a point source located in the plane of the source and of the same radioactive compo-sition as the

28、flood source.The UC encloses all points at which the sensitivity of the system is equal to or greater than half that of themaximum value measured.NOTES:1. For this standard, the area of the UC should be 1 cm2or less, but in no case shall it be greater than 6.5 cm2.2. This standard may not be constru

29、ed as to imply any ability to determine the presence of defects smaller than one UC.3.7 useful region (UR):The region of the source within which all measurements are made and for which allare certified to be correct. All measurements shall be performed and reported for the UR, recognizing thatmeasur

30、ement asymmetries are likely to be present at the edge of the source. The source may extend outsidethe UR, but no claim is made as to uniformity outside of the UR.2ASTM publications are available from the American Society for Testing and Materials, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2

32、 ReportEach flood source shall be accompanied by a Test and Measurement Report that shall contain the followinginformation: The primary radionuclide and all measurable radioactive impurities (as defined in 4.2) and theamount of radioactivity of each. The spatial uniformity of the emitted photon flux

33、 in terms of all required parameters described in thisstandard. The method by which these quantities have been measured. A summary of the statistical analysis of the data sufficient to determine the bias and imprecision ofmeasurement throughout the analysis of a given source. A description of the sy

34、stem constancy procedure as discussed in 4.4. A statement that the measurement system is maintained, calibrated, and validated using a validatedStandard Operating Procedure (SOP). A statement that the source was evaluated using a validated SOP that conforms to the requirementsof current good manufac

35、turing practice (cGMP) or equivalent.4.2 Required reportable parametersThe following parameters shall be reported in the Test and Measurement Report: The primary and impurity radionuclide content at the time of calibration shall be reported to an accu-racy of 10% at the 95% confidence level. All rad

36、ionuclide species present in the source at concen-trations greater than 0.05% of the activity of the primary radionuclide shall be listed individually.Total radionuclide impurity concentration shall be reported with an accuracy of 10% (at the 95%confidence level). A calculated estimate of the primar

37、y and impurity radionuclide content at a time equal to two half-lives (from the date of manufacture) of the primary radionuclide shall be reported. This shall be inthe same form as used in the impurity report described in the previous paragraph. This will report theconcentrations of all radionuclide

38、s reported in the initial impurity report as well as any other knownimpurities that are estimated to be present in concentrations greater than 0.05% of the primary radi-onuclide at the later time. The shape and dimensions of the unit cell (UC) in the normal counting geometry, including the widthof t

39、he penumbra (the area over which the sensitivity of the measurement system falls from 90% ofits maximum value within the UC to 10% of that value) shall be reported. A complete description of the cluster in terms of size, shape, and distribution within the useful region(UR).For the entire UR, the fol

40、lowing shallbe reported: The number of UC measurements, the mean, and the measured sample standard deviation of the UCcount for the entire UR. The Maximum Absolute Deviation from the Mean (MADM), defined by the largest sample differ-ence from the mean UC value, expressed as a percentage of the mean

41、UC value. The Coefficient of Variation (CV), defined by the standard deviation of the distribution of UC valuesdivided by the mean UC value and expressed as a percentage.ANSIN42.27-1999 AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD FOR DETERMINATION OF4Copyright 1999 IEEE. All rights reserved. The Integral Uniformity

42、(IU), in percent, defined as 100 (UCmax UCmin)/(UCmax + UCmin), whereUCmax represents the largest and UCmin the smallest UC measurement acquired over the UR, respec-tively.For the entire UR, the following shouldbe reported: The Differential Uniformity (DU), in percent, defined as 100 DUCmax/DUCsum.

43、This parameter isdetermined by the following method:1) For each measurement protocol, a cluster of UCs is defined. This cluster consists of a cluster ofbetween 7 and 12 UCs, where the boundary of the cluster is as convex as possible and all UCswithin the cluster boundary are included in all calculat

44、ions. All possible clusters that are com-pletely within the UR are used in the following calculation.2) Within each cluster, the pair of UCs exhibiting the largest difference in measured count rate isidentified (this difference is designated DUCi). When all clusters have been examined, the larg-est

45、DUCiis selected. This is DUCmax. DUCsumis simplythe sum of the measured values of thetwo pixels from which DUCmaxwas obtained.4.3 Methodological requirements4.3.1 GeneralUniformity shall be evaluated using a collimated detector or detectors positioned above or below the surfaceof the flood source so

46、 as to derive information from an array of measurements of UCs. The UC shall be com-pletely characterized by its description in the Test and Measurement Report.4.3.1.1 ConfigurationAll measurements shall be made with the source in the configuration as it would normally be used. 4.3.1.2 Useful region

47、The UR of the source shall be defined by the manufacturer by a dimensioned figure. This figure shall definethe orientation and position of the UR within the physical area of the source.4.3.1.3 Unit cellIndividual measurements comprising the evaluation shall be referenced to the UC.4.3.1.4 SamplingMe

48、asurements shall be taken at a sufficient number of positions of the UC within the UR so that no less than100% of the UR is measured. Sampling shall be uniform over the UR of the source, with appropriate over-sampling to ensure that sensitivity to defects is uniform throughout the UR. For continuous

49、, rotational scan-ning, the rotational speed of the source must be adjusted with detector radius so that the detector alwaysscans the same total area per unit time.4.3.2 Uniformity measurementThe measurement system shall have the ability to determine a parameter that is proportional to the localgamma-ray flux (as defined by the UC) from the flood source in the prescribed configuration.ANSIUNIFORMITY OF SOLID GAMMA-EMITTING FLOOD SOURCES N42.27-1999Copyright 1999 IEEE.
