10.1 Introduction
This section of the CardioMD service manual describes procedures for performing NEMA per-
formance measurements on the CardioMD detectors.
The acquisition PC includes dedicated software to perform these NEMA measurements. To access
any NEMA tests, follow instructions below.
Note. If the CardioMD system is equipped with the AC Option, the transmission scanners must be
removed before NEMA testing can be performed. See Chapter 12 CardioMD AC Option for in-
structions.
Note. The detectors must be uncollimated for all NEMA performance measurements.
Note. Make sure that the system is in the patient load position before accepting any automatic
motions to bring the detectors into position for NEMA measurements.
