Abstract :
A scoring system was designed for certification and QC test on basis of NEMA standards and clinical requirements on SPECT. According to the functions of SPECT the scoring system was presented three parts: planar, whole body scan and tomography. The marks in the scoring system were given In accordance with normalized parameters of QC tests. We used a scatter phantom and some simulated methods to change system performance to its rationality.
