5. Highlight the study to perform and select <Accept>. The Study Selection screen is now
displayed showing the original test and the test you are going to perform. Ensure the new
test is highlighted and select <Next> to advance to the Thyroid Uptake screen.
NOTE: To view a previous study, highlight the previous test and select the <Report> icon at
the bottom of the screen; the results for the previous test are displayed once you select the
report type.
6. Ensure the new test is highlighted and select <Next> to advance to the Thyroid Uptake
screen.
CAUTION: The Thyroid Uptake screen is now displayed. Confirm that you have the
correct patient displayed before proceeding.
ATTENTION: L'écran prise thyroïde est maintenant affiché. Confirmez que vous avez le
patient correct affiché avant de continuer.
7. Select <Count Standard>. The Activity Measurements screen is displayed.
8. Enter the Patient Dose activity, then select <Accept> to continue. A message is displayed
instructing the user to prepare to count the standard.
Position the capsule(s) in the thyroid phantom and set up the collimator for use. Set the
distance on your distance bar and move the collimator into position. The distance bar and
a red LED light can be flipped out from the rim into the center of the collimator face to help
align the thyroid position. Remember to flip the LED back to the retracted position and
move the distance bar to the bottom of the collimator out of the field before counting.
9. The capsule count distance and the thyroid count distance must be the same. When you

WARNING: You must use the same geometry for counting the sample/capsule or lab
background as used for counting the thyroid and / patient background. The system
calculation assumes the same geometry when comparing counts to counts. You must
also ensure that the collimator is at a right angle to the neck phantom and the thyroid
so that it is positioned correctly for counting to retain the correct geometry. Make sure
the distance bar and positioning light are not in the counting field.
AVERTISSEMENT: Vous devez utiliser la même géométrie de comptage de
l'échantillon/capsule ou lab arrière-plan tel qu'utilisé pour le comptage de la thyroïde et
/ patient arrière-plan. Le calcul de système suppose la géométrie même lorsque l'on
compare le nombre de chefs d'accusation. Vous devez également vous assurer que le
collimateur est à angle droit avec le fantôme de cou et de la thyroïde afin qu'il soit
positionné correctement pour le comptage pour conserver la géométrie correcte.
Assurez-vous que la barre d'écartement et positionnement de la lumière ne sont pas
dans le champ de comptage.
