Iodine Radioisotopes

Acquisition planning for nuclear medicine imaging equipment.

The acquisition of imaging equipment is sometimes accomplished with less than optimal planning which leads less than satisfactory results. The purpose of this article is to outline a plan for acquisition designed to reduce some of the problems.

Decision Making

Precision of radioimmunoassay with emphasis on curve-fitting procedures.

Direct curve-fitting methods using a digital computer have been employed to analyze the calibration curves of commercial kits for the assay of digoxin, digitoxin, insulin, B12, and renin activity (angiotensin). Inconsistencies have been revealed that suggest some improvements in the commercial kits are desirable. It is not suggested that the use of these kits would yield data of uncertain clinical value, but it is suggested that improvements in consistency would enhance the clinical utility.
