In the case of $^{123}I$ from the $^{124}Te$ (p,2n)reaction, the radionuclidic impurity is the high-energy gamma-emitting $^{124}I$, which interferes greatly with nuclear medicine images. The choice of a collimator can affect the quality of clinical SPECT images of [I-123]MIBG or [I-123]TPT. The tradeoffs that two different collimators make among spatial resolution, sensitivity, and scatter were studied by imaging a line source at 5cm, 10cm, 15cm distance using a number of plexiglass sheets between source and collimator, petri dist two-dimensional Hoffman brain phantom, and Jaszczak phantom after filling with $^{123}I$ (FWHM, FWTM, Sensitivity) for low energy ultra high resolution parallel hole(LEUHRP) collimator and medium energy general purpose (MEGP) collimator were measured as (9.27mm, 61.27mm $129CPM/[\mu}$ Ci) and (10.53m 23.17mm $105CPM/{\mu}$ Ci), respectively. The image quality of two-dimensional Hoffman brain Phantom with LEUHRP looked better than the one with MEGP. However, the image quality of Jasgczak phantom with LEUHRP looked much worse than the one with MEGP, The results suggest that the MEGP is preferable to LEUHRP for SPECT studies of [I-123]MIBG or [I-123]IPT.

We developed the contamination prevention module of an optical window for an In-Situ Particle Monitor (ISPM) system. the core part of the module is the generator of an ultrasonic wave and the module is to remove particles stuck to the window by the transfer of the wave force to the window surface. In order to enhance transfer efficiency of the waves the frequency of the ultrasonic wave was optimized and a low impedance material (plexiglass) and a soft sealing material (Si rubber) were used. The ISPM with the developed module was installed at the exhaust line of a BPSG CVD equipment and the effect of the module was verified.

In the case of $^{123}I$ from the $^{124}Te$(p,2n)reaction, the radionuclidic impurity is the high-energy gamma-emitting $^{124}I$, which interferes greatly with nuclear medicine images. The choice of a collimator can affect the quality of clinical SPECT images of [I-123]MIBG, [I-123] ${\beta}$-CIT, or [I-123]IPT. The tradeoffs that two different collimators make among spatial resolution, sensitivity, and scatter were studied by imaging a line source at 5cm, 10cm, 15cm distance using a number of plexiglass sheets between source and collimator, petri dish, two-dimensional Hoffman brain phantom, Jaszczak phantom, and three-dimensional Hoffman brain phantom after filling with $^{123}I$. (FWHM, FWTM, Sensitivity) for low-energy ultrahigh-resolution parallel - hole (LEUHRP) collimator and medium- energy general - purpose (MEGP) collimator were measured as (9.27mm, 61.27mm, $129CPM/{\mu}Ci$) and (10.53mm, 23.17mm, $105CPM/{\mu}Ci$), respectively. The image quality of two-dimensional Hoffman brain phantom with LEUHRP looked better than the one with MEGP. However, the image quality of Jaszczak phantom and three-dimensional Hoffman brain phantom with LEUHRP looked much worse than the one with MEGP because of scatter contributions in three-dimensional imaging situation. The results suggest that the MEGP is preferable to LEUHRP for three-dimensional imaging studies of [I-123]MIBG, [I-123] ${\beta}$-CIT, or [I-123]IPT.
