IEEE N42.27-1999

The scope of this standard is limited to commercially-produced, solid radioactive flood sources intended to aid in the determination of the system field uniformity of scintillation cameras used in nuclear medicine. This standard is intended to provide a set of minimum informational requirements for a Test and Measurement Report for flood sources used with scintillation cameras. It is not intended to specify the means by which such information is obtained, although it does place requirements and limitations on the methodology. In addition, it is not intended to cover the use of the source in the determination of the operating characteristics or correction factors for a scintillation camera.
