| Abstract: | The issue of inadequate solid standards for correcting nonuniformity in single photon emission computed tomography was addressed. Controlled, complex, motion of commercially available cobalt-57 standards was found to enhance the perceived nonuniformity of the standard and to minimize the effects of any local flaws. This maneuver provides a better standard than a refillable liquid phantom without the problems inherent in radioactive liquid standards which include: phantom deformation, poor mixing, absence of retrospective verification, accidental contamination and substantial handling requirements. |
