ORAMAS POLO, Ivón. Evaluation of tomographic ISOCAM Park II gamma camera parameters using Monte Carlo method. Nucleus [online]. 2015, n.57, pp.5-9. ISSN 0864-084X.

In this paper the evaluation of tomographic ISOCAM Park II gamma camera parameters was performed using the Monte Carlo code SIMIND. The parameters uniformity, resolution and contrast were evaluated by Jaszczak phantom simulation. In addition the qualitative assessment of the center of rotation was performed. The results of the simulation are compared and evaluated against the specifications of the manufacturer of the gamma camera and taking into account the National Protocol for Quality Control of Nuclear Medicine Instruments of the Cuban Medical Equipment Control Center. A computational Jaszczak phantom model with three different distributions of activity was obtained. They can be used to perform studies with gamma cameras

Palabras clave : single photon emission computed tomography; phantoms; Monte Carlo method; gamma cameras.
