Tailored for Your Gamma Camera
RadQual provides comprehensive cross-reference charts, helping professionals select the right flood source for their camera. For instance:
A Philips Brightview camera (51.4 × 40.6 cm active area) aligns with a BM01L-10 source.
A GE Discovery NM 750b (square 22.9 × 22.9 cm area) fits well with BM05-20 for optimal performance.(radqual.com)
