abstract = "For PET radionuclides, the radioactivity of a sample can be conveniently measured by a dose calibrator. These devices depend on a {"}calibration setting number{"}, but many recommended settings from manuals were interpolated based on standard sources of other radionuclide(s). We conducted HPGe gamma-ray spectroscopy, resulting in a reference for determining settings in two types of vessels containing one of several PET radionuclides. Our results reiterate the notion that in-house, experimental calibrations are recommended for different radionuclides and vessels.",
