Traceable calibration with 177Lu and comparison of activity meters at hospitals in Norway and Sweden
The field of therapeutic nuclear medicine continues to grow around the world, in terms of number of radiopharmaceuticals, number of patients and treatments. A central measurement instrument in radionuclide therapy is the activity meter, also known as dose calibrator, which is used to determine the activity administered to patients. Furthermore, the activity meter is the central instrument when calibration of gamma-camera systems for image-based dosimetry is performed. As such, the activity meter can be considered the reference instrument for radionuclide therapy.
