Ein neuer Scinti-Scanner

Summary An apparatus for automatic scanning of radioactive parts of the body is described (scinti scanner). A lead protected scintillation counter is moved over the organ to be examined. The registered impulses are recorded on a special paper with a writing mechanism rigidly fixed with the counter.Three scanning sizes, scanning speeds and ray collimators are provided. The measuring time varies between 4 min and 4 h.Measurements are mainly done with iodine 131 (inorganic or linked to serum albumine or di-iodofluorescein) and gold 198.
