The Canadian National Calibration Reference Centre for In-Vivo Monitoring: thyroid monitoring. Part IV: Optimizing a counting system that uses a single-channel analyzer.
This article is the fourth of a five-part series covering various aspects of occupational thyroid monitoring. This article describes the energy calibration of the monitoring system with particular emphasis on techniques for optimizing a system that is based on a single-channel analyzer, or any system that does not have a multi-channel analyzer. These systems cannot directly show the operator the photopeak of the calibration source. The article also briefly discusses quality control and problem solving.
