Radionuclide calibrator intercomparison study of clinical PET centres in England to a single traceable 68Ge syringe source

Conclusions This study demonstrated good repeatability in local device measurements. In total, 70% of English calibrators tested and 88% of all measurements performed achieved 5% accuracy. While statistically significant bias was exhibited between different vendor equipment dependent upon radioisotope selected, our study recommends regular traceability checks for optimum instrument performance conducted within National Metrology Institutes guidelines.
