PET-02
PET Air Monitor
Monitoring of gaseous effluents in facilities that produce and process positron emitting radionuclides.
Nuclear medicine
Key Features
- An air monitor optimized for the detection of typical radionuclides produced in cyclotrons for PET centres
- Detectors and coincidence electronics designed so as to minimize the influence of the natural background
- Minimization of false coincidences
- Local display and control and/or part of a host monitoring system
Description
The PET-02 monitor is intended for the monitoring of gaseous effluents in facilities that produce and process positron emitting radionuclides. Typical users include PET centres and cyclotron facilities.
The monitor is especially suitable for the detection of F-18 and radionuclides of biogenic elements of C-11, N-13, O-15, but it is also capable of detecting other positron emitting radionuclides (e.g. Sr/Rb-82 and Ge/Ga-68).
The PET-02 monitor is composed of the following main
parts:
- a measuring pipe of a circular cross-section with flanges to be used on the main pipe,
- a pair of plastic scintillation gamma detectors in a coincidence arrangement placed closely to the measuring pipe on opposite sides with each detector being equipped with lead shielding,
- RPU-06 processing unit containing a pair of multichannel analysers (DIM-09) and coincidence counting electronics.
Product design and specifications are subject to change without prior notice or obligation.
