Abstract
Scintigraphic images play an important role in the diagnosis of diseases by providing accurate clinical information independent of the operator. However, the good quality image may not be obtained due to changes in the performance of the imaging system and/or external factors. A poor quality image will make difficult to interpretate clinical studies. Quality Control (QC) tests provide to reveal the conditions that will adversely affect the image quality before starting of scintigraphic imaging, and to make the necessary arrangements. Although QC tests show relative changes depending on the brand and model of gama camera, there are tests that must be done routinely. For gamma cameras [planar and single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT)] to be newly installed in the Nuclear Medicine Clinic, “Acceptance Tests” should be carried out after the installation. “Checks before clinical studies” before. © Telif Hakkı 2020 Türkiye Nükleer Tıp Derneği / Nükleer Tıp Seminerleri, Galenos Yayınevi tarafından yayınlanmıştır.
