Nuclear Medicine
Our Quarterly Nuclear Medicine Site Visit Program ensures that facilities comply with State and Federal Regulations as well as commitments contained in the radioactive materials license. Listed are some of the areas that are examined during the audit:
- Inspect facility for compliance with State Regs, JCAHO recommendations, etc.
- Environmental radiation survey.
- Review of procedures for therapeutic use of radioactive materials.
- Review personnel monitoring records for compliance with ALARA program
- Semi-annual sealed source wipe test.
- Analysis of quarterly linearity test data.
- Annual dose calibrator accuracy check using facilities sources.
- Annual ALARA inspection.
- Preparation and Continuous update of Radiation Safety Officer's Notebook.
- Calculation of Typical Patient Doses for JCAHO
We also provide radiation safety in-service to occasionally exposed personnel on a periodic basis covering Radiation Safety, Low-level Effects of Radiation, and Radiation and Pregnancy. During the Quarterly Site Visit, a verbal review of all findings is presented to the nuclear medicine technologist. Shortly thereafter, a comprehensive written report with findings and recommendations is provided to the client. In addition to the survey, the physicist will organize, attend and provide input for your Radiation Safety Committee meetings at the time of his or her visit. We will handle the preparation of any radioactive license renewal and amendments and answer any questions or correspondence with the State Division of Radiation Control.
