The [Compton scatter tomography] system incorporates a conventional scintillation camera and its dedicated minicomputer together with a specially designed gamma irradiator. This system for the detection of Compton scatter with a scintillation camera has been previously presented by the authors.(Medical Radionuclide Imaging, 1977, vol. 1, p. 255). 1, record 1, English, - detection

Blood irradiator BI-2000. Applications : Irradiation of blood & blood products by gamma rays is a proven and safe method to inhibit T-Lymphocyte proliferation and eliminate the risk of post transfusion graft versus host disease(T-GVHD). Gamma irradiation of cellular blood components is the best current technology to reduce the risk of T-GVHD to the recipients as confirmed by research and therefore being widely practiced world over in hospitals and blood banks as a life saving approach to this problem. Blood is usually irradiated in standard blood bags in dedicated blood irradiators using cobalt-60 or caesium-137 radioactive source. The usual recommended radiation doses are 25 Gy to 35 Gy(1 Gy=100 rad) for this purposes. 2, record 3, English, - blood%20irradiator

The ISP Dose-Map [registered trade name] Dosimetry System for blood irradiators is based on an instant-imaging film medium that darkens in response of ionizing radiation. The film has been extensively characterized and calibrated at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and is capable of measuring the absorbed dose in a blood irradiator canister at an accuracy on the order of ± 5%. 1, record 4, English, - blood%20irridiator%20canister
