The speed and ease with which this test can be performed in accordance with this invention is likely to encourage users of dose calibrators to evaluate dose calibrator linearity more frequently than required by the regulations, thus fostering improved accuracy of these measuring instruments.

The system consists of a new low pressure ionization chamber with redesigned seal, electrometer with extraordinary linearity and an autoranging touch screen color display. Now one dose calibrator can be used for a wide variety of nuclear medicine, PET and radioimmunotherapy applications.

A dose calibrator linearity test can be done using the shield method (CaliCheck kit). I found that the results are frequently not reliable: 5% criteria was exceeded even if it was done in 3 minutes and the dose calibrator was functioning.
