| Popis: | After an accident involving a scintillation counter, the mechanical integrity of scintillation counters and their stands, rectilinear scanners, and gamma cameras was examined. An alarming proportion of these devices were found to be poorly designed with consequent danger to patients and staff. This class of equipment should be covered by standards incorporated in a comprehensive hospital technical memorandum. |
