Rectangular Cobalt-57 Flood Sources
 

Features

Cobalt-57 flood sources are used to test the response uniformity of gamma cameras. This is a critical quality control procedure to ensure that the camera response is uniform over the total head area(s). Cobalt-57 is uniformly dispersed in an epoxy matrix fully sealed in a high integrity ABS encapsulation. Radionuclide purity is greater than 99.9% (combined Co-56/Co-58 is less than 0.08% at source reference date). All flood sources are supplied with a uniformity test statement, wipe test certificate, handling and storage information and a custom decay calendar. All flood sources are shipped with the patented RadShield. RadShield provides comparable shielding to traditional hard-cases but at half of the weight.

All Flood Sources are shipped with the patented radshield.

Specifications

Cobalt-57 Flood Sources are manufactured and 100% tested to have a coefficient variation of less than ±1.0% and integral non-uniformity of less than ±2.5%. SPECT imaging procedures require less than ±1% coefficient of variation.
