Title: NIST Develops 2D Phantoms for Calibrating Digital Autoradiography Systems
Summary:
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created two-dimensional (2D) calibration phantoms with traceable activity for high-resolution digital autoradiography systems. These phantoms, printed using advanced drop-on-demand inkjet metrology techniques, will support the development of radiopharmaceuticals based on alpha-emitting radionuclides.
The project involves collaboration between NIST’s Material Measurement Laboratory (MML) and Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML), as well as researchers at the University of Wisconsin. The 2D phantoms allow for the absolute calibration of autoradiography systems with direct traceability to primary standards for activity. This development will advance drop-on-demand inkjet techniques to create phantoms with radioactive material deposited in precise patterns with dimensions relevant to Target Antigen Tumor (TAT) and push the limits of performance for autoradiography systems.
