Various mathematical techniques have been used to express the uniformity of a flood field image from an Anger scintillation camera. We have defined uniformity in terms of the parameters of a collection of Poisson distributions representing a flood field. A method for estimating uniformity and for constructing a confidence set for uniformity has been derived using order statistics. The method is illustrated using the 5th order statistic.
