1. INTRODUCTION
The Atomlab 950 PC is a complete thyroid uptake and analysis system specifically designed for nuclear
medicine. Capable of performing a full range of studies this system provides fast, accurate results for
Uptake Studies, Bioassay, Wipe Testing, Schilling Tests programmed for the Mallinckrodt, Bracco, or
Nycomed Dicopac® Schilling kits and Hematology testing.
The heart of the Atomlab 950 is a microprocessor-controlled 1024 channel Multi-Channel Analyzer,
coupled to a 2" x 2" NaI(Tl) detector with a personal computer interface. The system offers simple,
straight-forward operation using 23 pre-programmed isotopes, 50 user-defined radionuclides, and menu-
driven prompts to guide the user step by step through each procedure. The pre-programmed
radionuclides include I-123, I-125, I-131, Co-57, Cr-51, Tc-99m and Cs-137. The user-defined radionuclides
also allow for isotope identification while the printer provides hard copy printouts for patient and
department record keeping.
The Atomlab 950 has a memory allowing storage of 5,000 patients with multiple uptakes on each.
Additional features include an automatic self-diagnostic program, automatic calibration mode, choice of
automatic or manual counting time for uptake studies, and automatic isotope decay correction of uptake
measurements. These features help make this the most simple and accurate thyroid uptake system
available today.
