A simplified method of quantitating organ uptake using a gamma camera

MJ Myers, JP Lavender, JB de Oliveira and A Maseri

A simplified method of absolute quantitation of activity in any region of the body is presented utilizing a series of views acquired with a scintillation camera linked to a computer. An accuracy of +/- 6% may be achieved. No additional programming needs to be added to the standard nuclear medicine computer software and a knowledge of the attenuation coefficients involved and the shape or position of the organs examined is not presupposed or estimated. Attention correction is performed using a transmission image as one of the sequence of camera. The phantom measurements used to evaluate the technique are described and some clinical results presented.
