Comprehensive Testing and Utility Software:

Extremely intuitive menus follow conventionally established nuclear medicine procedures.  All programs provide clear, concise reports for referring physicians, insurance providers, patient records and a database for physician and technologist identification.  PDF reports allow for easy electronic distribution.

Thyroid Uptake Program

• Supports multiple time-stamped uptake measurements
• Auto decay correction
• User-defined uptake protocols
• On-screen spectrum acquisition and analysis
• Reports include normal ranges, notes/comments, facility/physician/technologist

The Atomlab 960 provides intuitive menus with provision to modify any procedure to suit specific requirements. Atomlab software guides the user through each step of any defined procedure.  Automatic decay correction calculates elapsed time between dose count and actual patient thyroid count, and then automatically computes uptake percentage.

Wipe Test Program

• Meets NRC/State regulations
• Energy spectrums with individual ROIs
• Ability to identify isotopes causing contamination
• User-specific wipe locations and trigger levels
• Wipes that exceed trigger levels are immediately recognized

Designed for use with the optional well counter, the Wipe Test Program makes it easy to comply with regulations for counting and reporting results of wipes taken for contamination surveys. 

The user may define an unlimited number of “Area” names and wipe “Locations” entered within these areas for testing and documentation.  Each area may be designated as “restricted”, “unrestricted”, “package” or “sealed source”.  The user may specify count times, activity units, wide window, and individual isotope and geometric efficiencies or simply utilize the wide range of factory default options.

The program displays and stores the full spectrum with each wipe, automatically calculates net contamination levels and reports results in dpm, uCi or kBq. Wipes above the user defined trigger levels are easily identified.  A detailed spectrum analysis may also be performed for any wipe to help identify isotopes causing contamination.  Customized reports can be printed or saved in PDF format.

Administration / Quality Assurance Program

• Automatic daily calibration using Cs-137 ­source
• Automatic high voltage adjustment
• Automatic Chi-Square test, with report
• Automatic MDA calculation
• Administration summary QA report
• Isotope efficiency calculations

There are a multitude of administration functions, each designed to minimize the time normally spent maintaining accurate use of the system. There is an automated high voltage setting for each detector, and an automatic calibration program using a Cs-137 source. The system will advise the user when a daily calibration has not been performed. The Chi-Square test program automatically performs the Chi-Square calculations and generates a printed report. Site information is entered in the administration program containing the facility name, address, and a list of the technologists and physicians in the department. Customized administrative and clinical reports can be printed or saved in PDF format.

Manual MCA Program
For performing sample counts and analysis beyond the scope of the standardized programs.

• Expandable library of 28 commonly used isotopes
• Unlimited user-defined isotopes
• Three counting methods: Preset Time, Preset ROI, and Continuous Counting

In addition to providing “standardized” programs for routine test and survey procedures, the 960 has a “manual” program to accommodate other counting and spectrum analysis tasks. The user can select from three counting methods: Preset Time, Preset ROI Counts, and Continuous Counting. After any count, the Spectrum Analysis option can be used to produce a Spectrum Analysis Report. The monitor shows when a test is in progress, and graphically displays the spectrum, time, counts and cpm.
