The measurement of the performance of the display system of radioisotope imaging device: the multi-element band display

P Sharp and J Mallard

An assessment has been made of the performance of the type of display system in which each display signal intensity, i.e. grey shade or colour, represents a range of count densities or counting rates. In the particular commercially available system used in this investigation eight different grey shades are used to display the image, a range of count densities beingallocated to each grey shade. It is shown experimentally that changes in the distribution of radioisotope can fail to be detected solely due to the manner in which the display is used, viz. The way in which the count density is allocated to the available grey shades. Also, it is shown experimentally that the best display performance can be achieved by using one in which the range of count densities represented by each grey shade is less than three standard deviations of the mean backgroung count density.
