The process for the production of nuclides used for applications in PET (positron emission tomography) creates high nuclide activities. Especially the production of the 18F isotope, which is included in the FDG radiopharmaceutical (fluordeoxyglucose), and the 15O isotope require an isotope calibrator suited for high activity measurement. The PET CURIEMENTOR 4 isotope calibrator includes a well ionization chamber with argon gas filling at 1,5 bar pressure. The geometrical design of the PET chamber is identical to the standard chamber design.
