Abstract[Summary]In quantitative dynamic studies, a scintillation camera is widely used with an on-line computer system or a data processor of fixed program. However, dynamic data are often inaccurate due to a considerable amount of resolving time inherent in the camera and in the data processing system. We have determined the resolving times of a delay-line type scintillation camera and an on-line computer system (TOSBAC 3400 Model 31 DAC system) separately. Counting-rate characteristics of the camera was measured against varying amount of a radioactive source, and fitted by exponential function by which the resolving time of 5.5μsec was determined. Data scquisition rate of the computer system was investigated in terms of display counting-rate of the camera. An equation of constant deadtime was well fitted to experimental acquisition rate which gave a system resolvingtime of 10μsec. In dynamic image data, the data transfer speed from core memory to magnetic disc was the limiting factor for the highest counting-rate and for the smallest time of each frame. Finally, possibilities are suggested for the improvement in high counting-rate performance of the camera-computer system.
