Thyroid Uptake Stand Operation
Uptake Stand Operation
1. The uptake arm is raised and lowered with the aid of gas spring assist. A locking knob is
located on the upright column so that once you have the uptake arm position set, you can
lock it so that it can only be raised, not lowered, in the locked position.
CAUTION: Engage collimator arm safety lock to prevent column from lowering.

demonte ou elimine.
2. The arm has two pivot points and two rotational points. One pivot point is located on the
arm next to the upright column. The other pivot is located at the arm's elbow joint.
3. There is a lock for the pivot that is located on the collimator where it connects to the arm.
This keeps the collimator from turning and locks it into position. There are handles on
either side of the collimator that make it easy to adjust the collimator and lock it into the
desired position.
4. A release that allows the collimator to rotate is located in the knuckle joint between the two
arm sections. The collimator can rotate 90 degrees in either direction which allows the
collimator to rotate side to side and up or down. This allows the collimator to easily count
the patient's neck, and then be repositioned for the patient's thigh.
5. The whole arm will pivot and turn so that the user can place the neck phantom onto the
middle shelf and set the collimator up for counting of the capsule in the neck phantom.
6. 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 before
counting.
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.
AVERTISSEMENT : Vous devez utiliser la même géométrie de comptage l'arrière-plan
échantillon/capsule ou laboratoire tel qu'utilisé pour le comptage de la thyroïde et/
patient fond. 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 correct
