What is BS EN 61675-2 – Gamma cameras for planar, wholebody, and SPECT imaging about?
BS EN 61675-2 is the second part of the multi-series international standard that focuses on gamma cameras for planar, whole body, and SPECT imaging with characteristics and conditions. BS EN 61675-2 specifies terminology and test methods for describing the characteristics of gamma cameras equipped with parallel hole collimators for planar imaging.
Additional tests are specified for those gamma cameras that are capable of planar whole-body imaging (planar whole-body imaging equipment) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). These gamma cameras consist of a gantry, single or multiple detector heads, and a computer for data acquisition, processing, storage, and display. the detector heads may contain single or multiple scintillation crystals or solid-state detectors.
Who is BS EN 61675-2 - Gamma cameras for planar, wholebody, and SPECT imaging for?
BS EN 61675-2 on gamma cameras for planar, wholebody, and SPECT imaging with characteristics and conditions is useful for:
- Manufacturers of imaging devices
- Biomedical laboratories
- Radionuclide imaging devices manufacturers
- Gamma cameras for planar, wholebody, and SPECT imaging manufacturers
- Medical laboratories
Why should you use BS EN 61675-2 - Gamma cameras for planar, wholebody, and SPECT imaging?
The test methods specified in BS EN 61675-2 have been selected to reflect the clinical use of gamma cameras for planar imaging, planar wholebody imaging equipment, and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). These test methods enable you, as a manufacturer, to describe the characteristics of the systems on a common basis.
BS EN 61675-2 guidelines help you with general requirements, detectors characteristics, and testing for Cardiac SPECT. This ensures the radionuclide imaging device is working properly and helps in achieving reliable data for Cardiac SPECT analysis.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN 61675-2:2015 supersedes BS EN 61675-2:1998 and BS EN 60789:2005 which has been withdrawn. BS EN 61675-2:2015 has been editorially revised.
