    A novel whole body traverser minimizes geometrical issues in radionuclide studies, offering accurate retention and distribution data. This advanced system improves precision for biological and tracer studies.

    Area of Science:

    • Nuclear medicine
    • Biomedical engineering
    • Radiochemistry

    Background:

    • Traditional whole body counters face geometrical challenges with radionuclide distribution.
    • Accurate measurement of incorporated radionuclides is crucial for retention and distribution studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a whole body traverser for improved radionuclide detection.
    • To overcome geometrical limitations inherent in conventional whole body counting.

    Main Methods:

    • A whole body traverser with variable radionuclide detection configurations was designed.
    • The system was tested in fully rotational mode to minimize photon energy and tissue attenuation effects.
    • Performance was validated using radiolabeled microsphere tracer studies and static counting.

    Main Results:

    • The whole body traverser demonstrated reduced susceptibility to geometrical problems compared to standard counters.
    • Fully rotational mode minimized effects of photon energy, tissue attenuation, and radionuclide location.
    • Consistent sample presentation yielded >95% correlation with predictable data and <2% counting fluctuations.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed whole body traverser offers enhanced accuracy and reliability for radionuclide retention and distribution studies.
    • This technology is suitable for both dynamic tracer studies (e.g., regional blood flow) and long-term retention assessments.
