General Requirements
General Information
Figure 1-1 on page 1-3 illustrates the Skylight components described below.
The Skylight system consists of an overhead frame supported by four 4" diameter
steel posts.
The system images patients as they lie on a patient table inside the frame.
A carriage translates along the overhead frame
and supports two image-collecting detectors.
The detectors can move up and down, in and
out, and rotate around their own axis. This
allows the detectors to image patients from
above, below, or from the sides of a patient.
Prior to imaging a patient, nuclear medicine
technologists attach a pair of “collimators” on
the detectors. Collimators are 21" x 26" (53cm x
66cm) sheets of lead. Several different types of
collimators exist; collimators weigh between
110 and 260 lbs (50 and 118 kg).
When a pair of collimators are not on the detectors, technologists will store the
collimators in a floor-mounted, collimator exchanger on one side of the Skylight
frame.
The system also includes two “towers” containing electronic components: the PC
tower and the power tower.
The PC tower contains image processing and networking equipment.
The power tower contains an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and other power
supplies.

Section 1: General Requirements
Clinical Operation
Although not shown in Figure 1-1, a desktop processing station (a PegBlade) must
be located outside the frame, but preferably in the same room. From the PegBlade,
physicians view and interpret images produced by the system.
Patients to be imaged by the Skylight system receive a small intravenous injection
of a gamma-ray-emitting radionuclide. The collimators contain a pattern of
gamma-ray admitting holes perpendicular to the imaging surface of the detectors.
The detectors sense the radiation that passes through holes in the collimators.
The detectors transmit electronic data to image processors in the PC tower. The
image processors produce images for physician interpretation on the PegBlade
processing station.
The Skylight system performs these types of clinical studies:
• Emission Computed Tomography (ECT) -- the carrriage remains in one
position while the detectors rotate around the patient’s torso. Image
processors produce a set of three dimensional tomographic images. The
images show radionuclide concentration in parallel slices of the patient’s
internal organs.
• Total Body -- the carrriage translates along the length of the patient (usually
head to toe). One detector scans above the patient table; the other scans
below patient table. The image processors produce two images (anterior and
posterior) showing radionuclide concentration in the patient’s skeleton and
other tissue.
• Static (Spot) or Dynamic -- the carriage and detectors remain fixed positions
near the patient. The system produces either a single image (static), or a
sequence of images (dynamic) showing the flow of radionuclide within the
patient over time.

Section 1: General Requirements
Collimator Exchanger
Technologists store collimators in vertical drawers of the collimator exchanger.
To transfer a collimator from an exchanger drawer to a detector, an operator will
swing the drawer 90° into the room, translate the carriage to the exchanger, and
move a detector next to a drawer as Figure 1-2 illustrates.
All Skylight systems come with a two-drawer collimator exchanger. That exchanger
will hold four pairs of collimators.
Customers may purchase a second, one-drawer collimator exchanger. The onedrawer exchanger will hold two more pairs of collimators. As Figure 1-3 shows, the
one-drawer collimator exchanger resides on the same wall as the two-drawer
exchanger.
Skylight Models
The Skylight system comes in one of four models:
• a 9 foot Skylight,
• a 9 foot California (seismic) Skylight,
• an 8 foot Skylight,
• an 8 foot California (seismic) Skylight.
The California (seismic) models have thicker-walled steel posts and three top braces
above the Skylight frame.
Vibration Specifications
Nuclear medicine cameras do not have floor vibration specifications. This is
because:
• image collection durations are long (10 - 300 seconds, or more) and floor
vibration durations are much smaller,
• vibrations are typically sinusoidal and, therefore, tend to cancel out, and
• the patient table and detector/gantry assemblies are both floor mounted and
tend to vibrate together.

Section 1: General Requirements
Power Requirements
The power requirements for a Skylight camera and PegBlade are as follows:
Skylight Camera PegBlade
Input Voltage: 208 - 240 V - dedicated 120 V
(International) 208 - 240 V - dedicated 220 V
Peak/Quiescent Current: 15 A / 4.8 A 5 A / NA
(International) 15 A / 4.8 A 2.5 A / NA
Phase: Single Phase Single Phase
Receptacle: Hardwired NEMA 5-15
Note: The Skylight camera includes a UPS and provides power to the detectors,
carriage, patient table, towers, acquisition terminal and collimator exchanger. An
optional cardiac gate can plug into a 115 volt receptacle on the patient table.
Air Conditioning Requirements
The system produces these heat loads:
Skylight System PegBlade PegBlade Monitor
5,653 BTU/hr 854 BTU/hr 544 BTU/hr
396 Cal/sec 60 Cal/sec 38 Cal/sec
1,656 watts 250 watts 159 watts
The camera room HVAC system must maintain the temperature between 60°- 75° F
(16° - 24° C) with less than 10° F (6° C) variation per hour. Humidity must be
between 20% - 75%.
These requirements must be met on a 24 hours per day, 7 days per week basis.
Magnetic Field Limitations
To avoid image quality and video monitor problems, the Skylight system must not
be in an area with a magnetic field greater than 1 Gauss.
Floor Levelness
The floor under the four Skylight frame posts, the collimator exchanger post(s) and
the patient table must all be at the same level ±1".
