<li>Evaluation of cardiac and lung <span class="caps">ECT</span> data acquisition and reconstruction methods</li>
<li>Evaluation of non-uniform attenuation and scatter compensation methods</li>
</ul>
<p>The Lung-Spine Phantom consists of two chambers that are shaped to simulate the lungs. The chamber can be filled with Styrofoam® beads and water that mimics the lung tissue. When filled with Styrofoam® beads and a radioactive solution, the lung chambers simulate lung tissue with density of ~ 0.3 gm/cm<sup>3</sup> and with any desirable radioactivity concentration. The Lung-Spine Phantom can be used with the optional Cardiac Insert (as shown) to realistically simulate the attenuation coefficients of any radioactivity uptake in various tissue in the human upper torso. Cardiac Insert is available separately.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In addition to the patient comfort provided by the soft, pliable air cushion of the disposable face mask, the direct dose feature reduces patient anxiety because no needle is used. The syringe luer locks tightly to the direct dose tube, away from the patient’s face. The one-way valve prevents the gas from reversing through the mask luer connector, allowing the technologist to disconnect immediately after injecting.</p>

</ul>
<p>The Atomlab 300 Dose Calibrator&#8217;s ultra-fast response time, extended measurement range and computer compatibility provide state-of-the-art performance for <span class="caps">PET</span> pharmacies, chemistry laboratories or clinics. The Atomlab 300 provides fast, accurate radionuclide activity measurements that easily surpass the most stringent regulatory requirements. With a modular design, the Atomlab 300 can be configured to specific requirements and expanded as the facility grows.</p>
<p>The unit is simple to operate. There are 13 isotope selection keys, ten are pre-programmed for the most commonly used <span class="caps">PET</span> and constancy radionuclides and three are user defined. There are 94 isotope-specific dial values listed in the manual, including Y-90 and Sr-89. Any key can be reprogrammed by the user for a desired isotope.</p>
<p>Activity is displayed on a <span class="caps">LED</span> readout in either Curie or Becquerel units. Background correction and zero adjustment are performed at the touch of a button. Range selection is automatic.</p>
<p>Activity measurements are performed by a microprocessor controlled electrometer located within the detector assembly of the ionization chamber. The chamber is shielded with .25&#8221; (.64 cm) lead. Up to six remote chambers and a printer may be connected to a single display unit. Utilizing the Multi-Chamber Switch Box, the chambers may be placed as far as 40 feet away from the display unit. Chamber bias is generated within the display unit by an electronic high voltage supply, eliminating the need for expensive battery changes.</p>
<p>The RS-232 port enables the Atomlab 300 Dose Calibrator to communicate with most commercially available nuclear medicine management systems.</p>
<p>An industry exclusive two-year warranty is standard.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>A comfortable rest between injection and imaging</p>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most protocols require that prior to imaging, a patient rest for up to one hour after an injection of FDG F-18. Typical injection chairs are not designed for comfort, making rest difficult.</p>
<p>The Injection/Resting Chair is a comfortable resting spot for patients to wait between injection and imaging. The chair achieves three recline positions and features an infinitely adjustable back. For patient safety, deep recline and Trendelenburg positions can only be achieved by the attendant. A quick release handle that spans the entire width of chair back allows effortless position change from either side of the chair.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ul>
<li> Lead and plastic shielding, designed for Beta</li>
<li>Clear plastic window</li>
<li>Fits most disposable syringes</li>
<li>Ideal for Zevalin Y-90</li>
</ul>
<p>This Beta Syringe Shield reduces hand exposure from syringes containing Strontium 89, P-32, and other beta-emitting radiopharmaceuticals. The barrel of the syringe shield is constructed of .375&#8221; clear plastic with a .062&#8221; thick embedded lead lining, which attenuates Beta emission and errant bremsstrahlung. The lead lining is interrupted at the viewing window for clear visibility when drawing and administering the dose. A thumbscrew holds syringes firmly in place.</p>
<p>For pharmacies preparing a dose of Zevalin, both a 1 cc and 10 cc syringe shield are offered for the two stages of preparation. Use the 1 cc syringe shield to draw Zevalin Y-90 directly from the pharmacy&#8217;s supplied vial shield, count in a dose calibrator and inject to the reaction vial. Use the 10 cc syringe shield to draw the prepared dose from the reaction vial for patient administration.</p>
<p>The Manual Dose Injector is an ideal companion, providing both additional shielding and distance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ul>
<li>Detects alpha, beta, gamma, x-ray</li>
<li>Axial detection of gamma or x-ray below 5 keV</li>
<li>Rate Range: 0.1 mR/hr &#8211; 9.999 R/hr</li>
<li>Dose Range: 0.01 mR &#8211; 99.9 R</li>
<li>Fast, flat response &#8211; free air ion chamber</li>
<li>Digital <span class="caps">LCD</span> display &ndash; 8-digit rate, 8-digits integrate</li>
<li>Lightweight &#8211; only 26 ounces (with batteries)</li>
</ul>
<p>Based on stable and essentially drift-free electrometer technology, this sensitive ion chamber instrument has high sensitivity for alpha and low-to-high energy beta particles, and to gamma and x-ray radiation. The compact and lightweight Digital Cutie Pie is useful for measuring exposure and dose rates, determining shielding effectiveness, checking source containers, monitoring radiation areas, and checking results following decontamination procedures. The unit contains an air ion chamber coupled to a solid-state <span class="caps">MOSFET</span> input electrometer with built-in A-D converter. Readout is in mR/hr or mR (Sv/hr readout is available). Rate range is 0.1 mR/hr &ndash; 9.999 R/hr in a single range. Dose range is 0.01 mR &ndash; 99.9 R in a single range. Accurate air equivalence is assured by 180 mg/cm2 graphite-lined methacrylate walls. A thin (0.5 mg/cm2) Mylar window allows high-sensitivity readings of alpha and low-energy beta such as C-14. Ion chamber survey meters are highly stable over time, making this instrument useful to reliably measure calibration sources, and radiation therapy around machines and sources. Because of their energy independent response, ion chamber survey meters are recommended for any dose rate measurements made for regulatory compliance (i.e. licensing, state regulations).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Virtually indestructible, the Table Pad is ideal for all patient handling applications. The Table Pad is a high density 1&#8221; polyurethane foam that ensures patient comfort by insulating from cold, hard table surfaces. The non-stick cover is made of &#8220;Gortex&#8221;-type material which resists liquid penetration for easy stain removal. The six double-stitched strap handles and the slick &#8220;Gortex&#8221;-type cover permit easy one-person patient handling on the x-ray table and also make transfers from bed to gurney to table easier on patients as well as personnel.</p>
<p>Nylon hook eyes are positioned for quick and easy hanging storage to keep the pad clean and out of the way when not in use.</p>
