Installing a New Line Source
Line sources are delivered from the vendor installed inside a line source housing and ready to be
mounted inside the CardioMD AC option line source compartment.
Before line sources are shipped by the vendor, an initial leak test is performed. Furthermore, leak
tests must be performed and documented by the local Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) upon receipt
of the line source or as required by radioactive materials Licensing Agency.
To perform a line source leak test, proceed as follows:
Procedure
1. Obtain a cotton-tipped swab and wipe the
swab along the aperture of the line source
housing number one.
Make sure that the shutter is closed to avoid
any unnecessary radiation exposure. The
aperture of the line source housing is the area
from which radiation is emitted.
2. Place the cotton-tipped swab in a well
counter or equivalent device capable of
detecting 0.001 µCi.
3. Repeat the same procedure for line source
housing number two.
For further information, refer to the CardioMD Operator's Manual Chapter 7 CardioMD AC
Option.
Procedure
The photo on the right shows the line source
housing.
When the line source housing is supplied from
the vendor, the line source attenuator should
be in the closed position.
