Abstract

The most important factor in determining the planar gamma camera image quality is daily quality control studies. There are many factors including the structure of the system and factors arising from the outside that cause degradation of the image quality. In this case report, we present the findings of photomultiplier tube defect which led to changes in the homogeneity that was detected during parathyroid scintigraphy scanning on a dual-headed SPECT gamma camera and we aimed to emphasize the importance of daily quality control tests for nuclear medicine department

Özet

Gama kameralarda planar görüntü kalitesinin belirlenmesinde en önemli unsur yapılan günlük kalite kontrol çalışmalarıdır. Gama kamera sistemlerinin görüntü kalitesinin bozulmasına neden olan sistemin yapısından ve dışarıdan kaynaklanan birçok etken vardır. Bu çalışmada, çift başlı SPECT yapabilen gama kameranın detektöründe gün içerisinde paratiroid sintigrafisi çalışması esnasında fotoçoğaltıcı tüpte meydana gelen ve kameranın intrensek homojenitesinde değişikliğe yol açan fotoçoğaltıcı tüp defekti bulgularını sunduk ve günlük yapılan kalite kontrol testlerin nükleer tıp açısından önemini vurgulamayı amaçladık
