QC Principles for Nuclear Medicine
Explains QC principles specific to nuclear medicine including dose calibrator accuracy, camera uniformity, energy resolution, sensitivity checks, and cross calibration procedures to ensure quantitative reliability.
Routine QC Tests and Frequency
Detailed descriptions of daily, weekly and monthly QC tasks: flood uniformity scans, energy peak checks, dose calibrator constancy, PET normalization and blank scans, and recommended logging practices and action thresholds.
QC Documentation and Response
How to log QC results, set action thresholds, escalate out of tolerance findings to a medical physicist or vendor service, and document corrective actions and follow up for accreditation records.
