AB  - Because the ultimate goal of any nuclear medicine procedure is to obtain diagnostically reliable images in the most cost-effective manner, troubleshooting of instrumentation problems is an integral part of this specialty. Many instrumentation problems can be rectified without serviceman intervention by the technologist who has proper knowledge of the equipment involved. An outline of common equipment problems and a systematic scheme for diagnosis and rectification of these problems are presented.
