Method for manufacturing a solid uniform flood source for quality control of gamma imaging cameras

摘要

A method of supplying a made-to-order flood source includes, in response to receiving an order for a flood source from a customer, selecting a mold from a plurality of molds to meet a size of the flood source ordered. A radionuclide is dispersed in a heat curable matrix material to form a mixture. The mixture is cured in the selected mold by application of heat. The cured mixture may be thereafter removed from the mold and encapsulated to form the flood source. The method allows the finished flood source to be shipped to the customer within twenty-four hours of receiving the order.
