Deadtime effects in quantification of 177Lu activity for radionuclide therapy

Deadtime effects in quantification of 177Lu activity for radionuclide therapy

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to investigate the deadtime (DT) effects that are present in 177Lu images acquired after radionuclide therapy injection, assess differences in DT based on the full spectrum and the photopeak-only measurements, and design a method to correct for the deadt...
