Abstract:
68Ge calibration source used for positron emission tomography (PET) attenuation correction was prepared by soluble gels method, mixed radioactive
68Ge solutions and the commercial epoxy, eliminating water by heating, then encapsulated and sealed in stainless steel tube. Quality examination of
68Ge calibration source was performed. The results show that the
68Ge calibration source is sealed well, the surface is pollution-free, and the active distribute of the
68Ge calibration source is evenly with an activity uniformity not more than ±5%. The various technical indexes of the source have achieved the level of similar products abroad.
