    Summary

    Accurate dynamic quantitative studies using high-radioactivity tracers require correcting for deadtime in Anger-cameras. This study analyzes deadtime in two camera systems and presents a computer program for accurate data analysis in radioisotope imaging.

    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear medicine
    • Medical physics
    • Image processing

    Context:

    • Dynamic quantitative studies, such as radioisotope angiocardiography, utilize high-radioactivity tracers.
    • Anger-cameras coupled with data processors are essential for these studies.
    • Accurate interpretation relies on high counting rates and analysis of activity/time curves.

    Purpose:

    • To determine the deadtime of two Anger-cameras (Pho-gamma HP and Radicamera II) under various working conditions.
    • To analyze and discuss the challenges associated with deadtime determination.
    • To develop and present a computer program for correcting deadtime in quantitative studies.

    Summary:

    • Deadtime was measured for Pho-gamma HP and Radicamera II Anger-cameras connected to a Med-II data-processing system.
