β¦ Synopsis
In quantitative analyses of dynamic radionuclide studies, using large activities of 99mTC flowing through organs it is necessary to determine accurately count-rate losses and to provide appropriate corrections.
A method is described for estimating deadtimes and applying corrections to the observed counting rates using a two component model where the gamma camera is considered to have a purely paralyzable deadtime and the data analysis system a purely nonparalyzable deadtime.
