Description
- Make sure you’re getting the most from your GE system by checking it with solid state Co-57 flood sources
- Recommended for accurate calibration of your camera and easier quality control
- Isotope Products Laboratories (IPL) Co-57 flood sources are manufactured and 100% tested to have a coefficient variation of less than or equal to ±07%, and integral uniformity of less than or equal to ±17% NOTE: Gamma imaging procedures require less than or equal to ±1% coefficient variation
- Co-57 photon energies simulate Tc-99m
- Used to test uniformity of gamma cameras
- Co-57 flood sources contain Cobalt-57 uniformly dispersed in an epoxy medium fully sealed in a high-integrity polymer encapsulation
- Radio nuclide purity is greater than 999% (exclusive of Cobalt-56 and Cobalt-58, < 015% combined)
- Shielded carrying case for easy storage; cases have casters that allow opening and source access without lifting Lead shielding minimizes personnel exposure and reduces background radiation levels
- E8505JC recommended for Millennium MPS/MPR/MG/VG, Maxxus, Starcam XRT, Varicam (Elscint), Helix (Elscint), Omega 500 (Technicare) and Gemini 700 (Technicare); also works with many other nuclear systems
