  • On-screen spectrum acquisition and analysis
  • Reports include normal ranges, notes/comments, facility/physician/technologist

Wipe Test Program

  • Complies with current regulatory standards
  • Automatic subtraction of background activity
  • Stores (and reports) individual wipe data on multiple wipe locations in any defined "area" - can be customized for package/shipment wipes 

Schilling Test Program for use with a variety of commercial kits 

  • Program follows manufacturer’s instructions for procedures and calculations 
     

Bioassay Program for individual patients or employee groups

  • Report choices include single bioassay report, summary of multiple bioassays on same patient, and summary report on multiple employees (gives most current assay result for each individual, for all isotopes of interest) 

Hematology Program for red blood cell survival, blood/plasma volume, ERPF and GFR

Manual MCA Program for performing sample counts and analysis beyond the scope of the standardized programs

  • Expandable library of 23 commonly used isotopes - pre-programmed with LLD, ULD, regulatory alarm levels, gain
  • High-resolution graphics

All programs provide clear, concise reports for referring physicians, insurance providers, patient records and a database for physician and technologist identification. 
 
The Atomlab 950 Thyroid Uptake System is an advanced multi-purpose spectrum analysis instrument designed for diverse nuclear medicine applications. Uptake studies, bioassays, Schilling tests, hematology tests, wipe tests, and other user-defined tasks are accomplished with speed and precision using this fully integrated computer-controlled instrument and its comprehensive selection of application software. The system’s multi-channel analyzer has 1024 channels, with separate input connections for the probe and optional well counter. Engineered for mobility, durability, and operational efficiency, the Atomlab 950 handles clinical tests, safety compliance tasks, and system administration procedures quickly and accurately. Task-specific software provides step-by-step guidance throughout all procedures, automatically performs calculations, stores patient information and test results, and outputs clear, concise reports. The "Procedure Definition" screen is used to set up a facility’s standardized test protocols by selecting the most appropriate program, editing program parameters to suit specific facility requirements, or by creating an entirely new procedure. When program design or modification is completed, the new program is stored for future use. A toolbar "help" button provides detailed system assistance.

The self-contained Atomlab 950 system is configured on a mobile platform with locking casters and a base that measures only 30" by 31.5" (76 x 80 cm). An upper shelf supports the computer, monitor, keyboard, and trackball mouse. A lower shelf supports the color inkjet printer. The base of the stand incorporates a shelf to hold the optional well counter. A 2" x 2" NaI(Tl) detector with collimator articulates on a counterbalanced arm. Twenty-two inches (56 cm) of vertical travel allows the probe to be positioned up to 55" (140 cm) from the floor to accommodate seated or supine patients. The probe swings more than 180° on the horizontal plane, and extends outward up to approximately 34" (86 cm) from the support column. This design makes positioning for uptake studies simple and comfortable for both patient and technologist.
