Pro-NM NEMA NU2

The Pro-NM NEMA NU2 is used for evaluating performance of positron emission tomographs (PET). Recommended for use in the evaluation of reconstructed image quality in whole body PET imaging. For simulation of whole-body imaging especially using PET and camera-based coincidence imaging techniques. 

Can also be used for determination of the coincidence count rate characteristics in brain and cardiac imaging, evaluation of the relationship between true coincidence count rate and radioactivity, determination of the address errors caused by address pile up, evaluation of the count loss correction scheme.

It has been designed in accordance with the recommendations by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and modified by the National Electrical manufacturers Association (NEMA).

The Pro-NM NEMA NU2 is compatible with Diagnomatic QC Solutions,a web-based service that makes it possible to easily organize and manage the quality control of any number of diagnostic imaging systems. The platform supports a DICOM protocol that allows seamless integration with your hospital IT system making data transfer safe and easy. The Pro-NM PET BASIC Kit are versatile sets of phantoms and software for carrying out constancy tests of radiography and fluoroscopy units. Thanks to the Diagnomatic subscription, all tests can be quickly and effortlessly automatically analyzed online and with the desktop app.
