Gamma Camera Testing Schedules for Nuclear Cardiology Facilities

Abstract

Interpreting medical scans acquired with nuclear imaging equipment requires testing the equipment to assure that the best results achievable are routinely and reliably produced. Strict adherence to predetermined schedules for testing and recording the results for gamma cameras will facilitate the efficient operation of a Nuclear Cardiology laboratory, satisfy regulatory and accreditation requirements, and instill confidence in the readings obtained by interpreting the collected patient scans, for the ultimate benefit of the patients being evaluated.
