Imaging characteristics of gold-195m on the multicrystal digital camera
Description
The imaging of gold-195m (E, 262 keV; T/sub 1/2/, 30.5 sec) on modern scintillation cameras changes the performance characteristics of instruments designed for photon energies of 140 keV or less. The multicrystal digital camera images /sup 195m/Au with an 11% reduction in sensitivity, with a <15% reduction in count rate, and no compromise in collimation, thus making the instrument extremely well suited for first-transit nuclear cardiology with /sup 195m/Au
