摘要
This paper focuses on the application of the method known as "4 pi gamma counting" to the standardization of positron emitters. Measurements and Monte Carlo simulations have been used to determine the optimal conditions of application. Two positron emitters (Na-22 and F-18) have been standardized, and the results are compared to those obtained by other methods. A good agreement has been found. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
