This part of IEC 61675 specifies terminology and test methods for describing the characteristics of GAMMA CAMERAS equipped with PARALLEL HOLE COLLIMATORS that are capable of planar imaging. Additional tests are specified for those GAMMA CAMERAS that are capable of SINGLE PHOTON EMISSION COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (SPECT) or planar wholebody imaging (PLANAR WHOLEBODY IMAGING EQUIPMENT) or SPECT wholebody imaging. SPECT systems may also be equipped with a CT system for hybrid imaging.
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.
Novel camera designs with multiple DETECTOR HEADS that are not capable of planar acquisition are not included in the scope of this standard.
