43、00, with a tolerance of 20 % 68Ga 511, with a tolerance of 10 % NOTE Because the characteristics of a gamma camera may change noticeably between 122 keV (57Co) and 141 keV (99mTc), the former is not included as a suitable radionuclide. However, it may be useful in some circumstances, e.g. for qualit
44、y control. Additional measurements with other settings, as specified by the manufacturer, can be performed. Before the measurements are performed, the camera shall be adjusted by the procedure normally used by the manufacturer for an installed unit and shall not be adjusted specially for the measure
45、ment of specific parameters. Unless otherwise specified, measurements shall be carried out at count rates not exceeding 20 000 counts per second. 4.2 SYSTEM SENSITIVITY 4.2.1 General Sensitivity is a parameter that characterizes the effectiveness of a system to identify the radiation emitted from a
46、RADIOACTIVE SOURCE, i.e. the rate at which events are detected in the presence of a RADIOACTIVE SOURCE in the limit of low ACTIVITY where COUNT LOSSES are negligible. The measured COUNT RATE for a given ACTIVITY and RADIONUCLIDE depends on many factors, including the detector material, its size and
47、thickness, the size and shape of the RADIOACTIVE SOURCE including its absorption and scatter properties, and instruments dead time, energy thresholds and COLLIMATOR. 4.2.2 Purpose The purpose of this measurement is to determine the detected rate of events per unit of ACTIVITY for a standard volume s
48、ource of given dimensions and a specified COLLIMATOR. 4.2.3 Method The SYSTEM SENSITIVITY test places a known amount of ACTIVITY of a specified RADIONUCLIDE within the DETECTOR FIELD OF VIEW of the GAMMA CAMERA and observes the resulting COUNT RATE. From these values the SYSTEM SENSITIVITY is calcul
49、ated. The test is critically dependent 9 EN 60789:2005 upon accurate assays of RADIOACTIVITY as measured in a dose calibrator or well counter. It is difficult to maintain an absolute calibration with such devices to accuracies better than 10 %. Absolute reference standards of the appropriate RADIONUCLIDE should be considered if higher degrees of accuracy are required. 4.2.4 Radionuclide The RADIONUCLIDE used for this measurement shall be appropriate for the C
