Abstract

The optimum base-level settings were derived experimentally from the line-spread function for the three radionuclides, 113mIn, 131I, and 99mTc. The scans of liver slice phantom obtained with these radionuclides showed that the image quality and detectability of lesions were better with the optimum settings than with the conventional 100-keV window. Indium-113m appeared to be superior to the other radionuclides in its efficiency for detection of a lesion in a phantom
