Abstract
Based on the criterion of detectability of a 0.1â¯ml tumor for a counting interval of 1â¯s and an administered activity of 3â¯MBq/kg, the current probe yields a detectable signal over a wide range of Standard Uptake Values (SUVs) and tumor-to-non-tumor activity-concentration ratios (TNRs) for 31Si, 32P, 97Zr, and 188Re. Although efficient counting of 83Br, 133I, and 153Sm proved somewhat more problematic, the foregoing criterion can be satisfied for these isotopes as well for sufficiently high SUVs and TNRs.
