9 Whole Body Dosimeter - Model L-OSL-WB The InLight dosimeter provides x, gamma, and beta radiation monitoring with optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) technology. OSL technology is the newest advancement in passive radiation protection dosimetry. This InLight dosimeter offers reanalysis and imaging capabilities, precision with a wide dynamic range of measurement, long-term stability, and environmental integrity. This dosimeter is engineered to be read out by an InLight reader. The Landauer InLight dosimeter design contains an assembly of a case component with an open window, aluminum, copper, and plastic filters, along with a four-positioned aluminum oxide detector slide component. Both the case and slide are uniquely bar coded with serial numbers for chain of custody and sensitivity identification. InLight whole body Dosimeter Reader - Model Microstar Quartz/Carbon Fiber Direct Read Pocket Dosimeter - Model AT-138 The MicroStar reader provides readout for InLight System dosimeters. The InLight System measures radiation exposure with aluminum oxide detectors (Al 2O3:C) read out by optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) technology. The reader stimulates the detector with a light emitting diode (LED) array causing it to luminesce in proportion to the amount of radiation exposure and the intensity of stimulation light. The luminescence is detected and measured by the reader s photo multiplier tube using a high sensitivity photon counting system. A dose calculation algorithm is then applied to the measurement to determine exposure results. This nondestructive type of readout allows for dose verification through reanalysis. InLight menu-driven software residing on an external PC provides control over the setup, analysis, and data recording enabling dosimeter read out and reader quality control. The Classic Model AT series, Direct Read Quartz/Carbon Fiber Pocket Dosimeters are available in a variety of monitoring ranges. The Low energy Model AT-138 (0-200mR) may be used in Laboratory or Medical environments where gross accumulated dose measurements may be required for documentation of worker and visitor traffic in restricted areas.

57 ANIQSpec Integrated Spectroscopy System ANIQSpec is a Multi-Channel Analyzer spectroscopy system (MCA). A spectroscopy system begins with a detector that outputs voltage pulses. The detector is typically powered with an applied high-voltage, and the signals are sent through an amplifier, which also shapes the pulses. The amplified pulses are fed into an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), which generates the digital signal suitable for computer data representation. The MCA board has a 4096-channel memory, where each channel represents a small voltage interval. Each time a pulse is received from the ADC, the contents of the appropriate channel is incremented by one. The MCA responds to commands from a software package, which includes start/stop data acquisition, transfer data to the PC, and clear the memory of the MCA. In addition, ANIQSpec comes with a general I/O board to receive signals a wide variety of sensors. The ANIQSpec Integrated Spectroscopy System comprises : ANIQVME: VME Backplane Chassis ANIQ USB-PPI: Interface Module ANIQMCA14: Spectroscopy Module ANIQHV: High-Voltage Power Supply ANIQIO: I/O Module & Connection Block ANIQMCA Acquisition & Analysis Software ANIQMCA is designed to acquire spectral data in single periods, and display the spectrum in graphical mode. It controls and downloads data from the ANIQSpec Spectroscopy Modules. ANIQMCA allows the user to open a number of documents, limited only by the memory of PC. Each document is a histogram with an array size of either 1024, 2048 or 4096 channels. Each channel contains an integer from 0 to The user may create on-line documents, one for each board. Such documents may be used to acquire live data. Since the ANIQSpec boards acquire data independently, acquired data may be recovered when ANIQMCA is started. The data may be saved on disk in an MCA file, which may be read as an off-line document and analysed. The number of counts is autoscaled, but this may also be modified with the PageUp, PageDown and Home keys. 56

63 N-Type HPGe Detectors PGT N-type germanium coaxial detectors are useful down to ~3 kev, since they have a standard beryllium entrance window and a thin (0.3 µm) P+ face. The NIGC extended range detectors are therefore the best choice for applications involving both X-ray and highenergy gamma-ray spectroscopy in the same sample. These detectors exhibit excellent timing characteristics and are appropriate with anti-compton shielding. They are thus especially suitable for suppression of Compton scattering to reduce background. Fast neutrons can generate hole trapping centers, whose presence is manisfested by poor resolution at 1.33 MeV or higher. Because the main charge carriers in NIGC detectors are electrons, which are not as easily trapped as holes, these detectors are more resistant to neutron damage than are P-type detectors. This makes them ideal under conditions of high neutron flux. PGT NIGC detectors have even proven themselves in space and high-altitude applications.

124 10.2. Tec-Control Chromatography Radiopharmaceutical Quality Control For radiopharmaceutical quality control Tec-Control Chromatography tests the radiochemical purity of specific Tc-99m-labeled radiopharmaceuticals. The accompanying chart shows which strips and solvents are required to perform each individual test. Some solvents must be purchased separately (see Sigma-Aldrich chart) due to hazardous material shipping restrictions. Detailed instruction manuals are packaged with each strip container, although our Radiopharmaceutical QC Procedure Manual ( ) explains paper chromatography in greater detail. TEC-CONTROL ALUMINUM BREAKTHRU KIT Simple 3-step procedure The Aluminum Breakthru Kit provides a rapid, easy and inexpensive way to test aqueous solutions, particularly pertechnetate generator eluate, for trace quantities of aluminum. Aluminum forms an intense red precipitate with the indicator paper, and the intensity of the color is directly proportional to the amount of aluminum in the solution. The USP allows a concentration of aluminum ion in an injection 10 micrograms per milliliter (10 µg/ml) in technetium 99m eluate prepared from Molybdenum 99 formed as a result of uranium fission. Simple Procedure: 1. Place a drop of the eluate or solution to be tested on the indicator paper. The best procedure is to form a hanging drop using a 19-22G needle. 2. Place a drop of the standard aluminum solution on the indicator paper. Use the same size drop. 3. Compare the intensity of the red spot formed. If the eluate spot is less intense than the standard solution, the eluate contains less than 10µg/ml aluminum. 123

128 Collimator/ Beam Alignment Test Tool The Ludlum Model L Collimator/ Beam Alignment test tool provides the necessary verification of the proper congruence of the collimator light field and the x-ray beam. Misalignment of the collimator may cause key portions of the image to be missing from the radiographic image. The beam alignment (cylinder) portion of the test tool confirms that the central ray is perpendicular to the image receptor. Improper beam alignment will cause a distorted radiographic image. The test tool is easy to use and readily identifies misalignments and improper angulation of the x-ray tube. CR/DR - Test Tool - Model L-777 The Ludlum CR/DR Test Tool is designed for the evaluation of the newer filmless digital CR (Computed Radiography) and DR (Digital Radiography) imaging systems. The CR/DR Test Tool incorporates a variety of testing parameters that, when used daily, tracks Geometry (region of interest) Symmetry, Line Pair Resolution, as well as, Low and High Contrast performance. Measurements of the various targets allow for evaluation of both the monitor and printed film image. The CR/DR tool will become a valuable asset to the QA Technologist and the Medical Physicist when trying to determine the source of an image quality problem or complaint. The large 14 x 17 size make it ideal for quick checks on automated chest systems. Fluoroscopic Beam Alignment Tool The Ludlum Fluoroscopic Beam Alignment device consists of an aluminum plate with 4 sliding brass strips set in recessed channels. The strips define the border or visible area of the image receptor. A plastic overaly prevents any vertical displacement of the brass strips. Holes drilled in half inch intervals are filled with higher density material for visibility through the brass strips. The device when placed in the center of the image receptor is designed to correct or optimize fluoroscopic collimation. Any portion of the fluoroscopic field that falls outside the image receptor does not contribute to the useful image and can lead to unnecessary exposure to the patient. This very simple but critical measurement will identify a misaligned fluoroscopic system. 127

129 CR/DR TG-116 Filter Holder Set - Model L-116 One of the key benefits of Digital Radiography (DR) is the ability to make image quality corrections after the exposure has been made. Image Contrast, Density and Brightness values are easily controlled at workstation display screens. Initial exposure settings are greatly simplified with DR. The technologist has a much wider exposure latitude when setting up techniques for imaging various parts of the anatomy. However, this wide exposure latitude can also lead to potentially excessive patient exposure and subtle reductions in quality due to increased Noise levels in the image. The new Ludlum CR/DR TG-116 Filter Holder Set is designed to simplify the filtration requirements needed to achieve the needed beam hardening conditions necessary to reach the desired Exposure DI for the various anatomical views being established. The copper filter is permanently bonded to the polycarbon base material. The copper filter is covered with an acrylic pocket, 6mm in height. The pocket, open on one side, will hold all of the provided filters*. The polycarbon material is easily cut with a standard utility knife or sheers to accommodate the two most common collimator track sizes in a given department. The base may also be attached with the provided hook and loop strips for odd sized collimators. NEMA SCA&I Fluoroscopic Phantom - Model L-901 The NEMA-SCA&I was developed to evaluate and standardize the Interventional fluoroscopic image. The design is the result of a collaboration of efforts between the Society for Cardiac Angiography and Interventions and the National Electric Manufacturers Association. Use of the phantom provides voluntary compliance with published NEMA standard XR21. The phantom is primarily manufactured from PMMA (acrylic) with x-ray absorption properties similar to soft tissue at standard diagnostic energies. There are a variety of static and dynamic test targets designed to assess spatial resolution, motion unsharpness and radiation exposure. The 12 PMMA plates provide a variety of phantom thicknesses, allowing simulation of child to adult configurations. 128

130 Patient Penetrometer Kit - Model L-706 The Ludlum Model L- 706 Patient Penetrometer Kit provides the necessary patient phantom attenuation material to test the (exposure rate) output of any standard or digital fluoroscopic system. The Penetrometer Kit is designed to work with most any x-ray exposure or multimeter measurement device. The Kit consists of ( four ) 7 x 7 x (3/8 ) plates of high- purity (1100) aluminum. These blocks simulate the attenuation of 26cm of water or a very large adult abdomen at 90Kvp. Two of the plates simulates a child abdomen or adult chest. Also included is one 7 x 7 lead stop plate. The stop plate allows the user to evaluate the automatic brightness control at maximum output. Finally, a 7 x7 x plate with four holes, each twice the area of the previous smaller hole (0.25 ; ; ; ). This plate is placed between the 3/8 aluminum plates (two above and two below to determine the contrast gradient of the image systems. Portable Densitometer - Model L-331 The Model L-331 Portable Densitometer is an easy to use precision instrument designed to provide highly accurate and repeatable (black & white) optical density readings. This makes it an ideal tool for Processor Quality Assurance. The readings provided by the Model L-310 will alert you to fluctuations in processing conditions and allow you to take the necessary corrective action before film quality becomes an issue.

131 Radiographic/Fluoroscopic Phantom - Model L-903 The Model L903 Fluoroscopic Phantom provides a quick but comprehensive assessment of Fluoroscopic Contrast, Detail and Resolution. The PMMA equivalent plates offer the necessary attenuation properties needed to simulate various patient thicknesses. The various contrast and detail test objects and high contrast resolution mesh targets are ideal for routine image assessment and help the medical physicist and associated QA personnel ensure that physicians are receiving accurate high quality images. The overall phantom measures 25cm wide by 25 cm long x 20.7cm high. The phantom consists of three attenuation plates and one test object plate. Photometer - Model PMLX The model PMLX Precision Photometer is designed to measure both illuminance (the amount of light falling on a surface) in lux (lumens per m2 ) and luminance (the amount of light emitted from a surface in nit (candela per m2 ). The Precision Photometer quickly verifies that collimator light sources are in accordance with regulations. It also measures the brightness and uniformity of an x-ray viewbox for appropriate brightness and uniformity. When used for Mammography Quality Control, the photometer will provide measurement of viewer luminance and room illuminance required by MQSA guidelines. Either of two optional (rigid or flexible) fiber optic probes can be used to make measurements of SMPTE* patterns produced by digital display units, in order to determine appropriate density and contrast settings for image display monitors. The battery operated photometer has a bright LED display and only two operating controls: Measure for taking readings, and Range to adjust the meter display to the light being measured. Range: 0.1 to 999,000 lux or nits 130

132 10.5. Surgical guidance Surgical guidance system for radio-isotope label The C-Trak Surgical Guidance System from Care Wise has been designed to be used by a surgeon in identifying tissues which contain a radioisotope label. The heart of the system is a small, hand-held gamma detector, the C-Trak probe. With this probe, the surgeon can also determine whether surgically removed tissue contains radioisotope material and, by repeated assay, can determine whether all radioisotope containing material has been removed from the operative site. C-Trak probes are capable of measuring gamma energies up to 364 kev, and are designed to detect small sites of radioisotope uptake in the high scatter, highly variable background environments found with imaging radiolabels such as Indium 111 and Technetium 99m. The C-Trak Omniprobe PET can be used to detect higher-energy radiolabels such as FDG, with energies up to 600 kev. Achieving this level of performance is possible because of the probe's proprietary combination of variable collimation and shielding, coupled to the signal discrimination of the C-Trak analyzer. Patented, snap-on collimators vary the probe's field of view from wide (for surveying) to narrow (for probe-guided resection), and can be matched to suit tissue/background levels. The use of the patented C-Trak blocking plate, in combination with the collimators, allows the surgeon to reduce radiation from outside the selected field of view. The head of the compact 5" probe is angled at 30 degrees to facilitate surgical searches in tight anatomical spaces such as the pelvis. 131
