ABSTRACT:
A generally cylindrical radiation shielding adapter makes possible the efficient utilization of a gamma camera for uptake studies. Only a small portion of the camera's field of view is utilized, thus increasing the count rate and decreasing the length of the study and the amount of radioactive material required to be absorbed by the organ.
An alternative flat field of view straight bore masking collimator is also provided for uptake studies.
