peak

English to German Medical Medical: Instruments CT-scanning system

in cannot find suitable German expression for this

thanks for suggestion

yes you have right; i got more context and it is nuclear medicine
uyuni Jun 15, 2012:
@ Darko: Are you sure about the context? I´d think that this is about application software used in nuclear medicine rather than plain CT...??
Darko Kolega (asker) Jun 15, 2012:
yes you have right
Julia Mojik Jun 15, 2012:
@Darko A bit confusing is 'this page allows you...' and then it lists the functions. Is this a user instruction for a software programme connected with CT scanning?

(das Energiefenster auf den) Photopeak zentrieren - *Peaken*

As I already pointed out in my discussion entry I am fairly convinced that this not about computed tomography but rather a term used in quality assurance in the field of nuclear medicine:

Examples:

Gammakameras zur Einzelphotonen-Szintigraphie:
...
Einstellung des Energiefensters: Das Energiefenster der Gammakamera muss mindestens täglich für die benutzten Energien korrekt eingestellt werden (peaking). Üblicherweise wird ein Energiefenster von 15 bzw. 20% verwendet, welches symmetrisch auf den Photopeak zentriert ist.
http://www.nuklearmedizin.de/leistungen/leitlinien/html/nuk_...

...je ein Energiefenster manuell um die Energie–Peaks der beiden Isotope zentriert ..

Zur Korrektur für diesen Streustrahlenanteil wurde unmittelbar vor I–IPPA–Injektion eine SPECT akquiriert, bei der das Energiefenster auf den I–Peak zentriert war (Streustrahlenmessung).

Even *Peaken* seems to be common parlance in German nuclear medicine:

Modernere Gammakameras begnügen sich mit dem einmaligen "peaken" der zu verwendenden Radionuklide an diesem Tag. (in Erlangen : MS3, E-Cam)

Perhaps positron emission tomography (PET-CT)?
This would comprise both CT and nuclear imaging.

you have right - I got more material and it is as you said
