Experimental determination of calibration settings of a commercially available radionuclide calibrator for various clinical measurement geometries and radionuclides.

Following the approach of the National Primary Laboratory of the UK (NPL) for the calibration of radionuclide calibrators, but using a commercially available instrument with no data available in the literature, the radionuclide calibrator response was investigated as a function of different measurement geometries at the “Regina Elena” National Cancer Institute (IRE) in Rome.
