Competency information
Details
Investigate the effect on measured count-rate of factors such as energy window setting, sample volume and source–detector geometry for in-vitro and in-vivo counters.
Considerations
- The range of radionuclides, radioactivity administered and radiation dose in relation to clinical studies.
Relevant learning outcomes
| # | Outcome |
|---|---|
| # 2 | Outcome Assist in routine patient investigations using uptake counters, gamma spectrometers, manual and automatic beta and gamma sample counters correctly and safely, and, where possible, other equipment such as whole body counters, demonstrating patient-centred, safe practice and the effect of equipment settings and counting geometry on measured count-rates. |
