Notes: "This standards publication establishes definitions, quantitative measurements of performance characteristics, and reporting techniques for the specification of the following Gamma camera parameters: a) Intrinsic Spatial Resolution; b) Intrinsic Spatial Linearity; c) Intrinsic Energy Resolution; d) Intrinsic Flood Field Uniformity; e) Multiple Window Spatial Registration; f) Intrinsic Count Rate Performance in Air; g) Intrinsic Spatial Resolution at 75 kcps; h) Intrinsic Flood Field Uniformity at 75 kcps; i) System Spatial Resolution without Scatter; j) System Spatial Resolution with Scatter; k) System Planar Sensitivity and Collimator Penetration and Scatter; l) Detector Shielding; m) System Count Rate Performance with Scatter; n) System Alignment; o) SPECT Reconstructed Spatial Resolution without Scatter; p) SPECT Reconstructed Spatial Resolution with Scatter; q) System Volume Sensitivity; r) Detector-Detector Sensitivity Variation; s) Whole-body System Spatial Resolution without Scatter. The following types of medical radionuclide imaging instruments are included in this standard: a) Single detector, single crystal planar Gamma cameras; b) Single detector, single crystal tomographic Gamma cameras; c) Multiple detector planar and tomographic Gamma cameras; d) Whole-body Gamma camera devices; e) Discrete pixel detector Gamma cameras."--Page 1.
