摘要：

This paper discusses the problems related to the measurement of positron emitters with germanium detectors. Five positron emitters with important applications in nuclear medicine (Na-22, F-18, C-11, N-13 and Ga-68) have been studied. Measurements and Monte Carlo simulations have been used to determine the optimal conditions of measurement in gamma-ray spectrometry systems. The results obtained indicate that adding adequate absorbers, detection efficiencies are close to those of gamma emitters of similar energy measured in the same conditions, which allows a rapid calibration of a Ge-based spectrometry system. More accurate results are also presented using a detailed Monte Carlo simulation. Comparison to experimental data shows a good agreement. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
