چکیده
We have developed training materials for nuclear medicine technologists to be used in distance-assisted training programs. We have completed our first pilot project in Asia and report that there will be nearly 500 students around the world, in Asia, Africa, Central America and South America, using our materials during the coming year.

Distance assisted training in sub-Saharan Africa: a program evaluation.
Technologists working in nuclear medicine departments in sub-Saharan African countries do not have access to formal training in nuclear medicine and have been recruited mostly from related fields of radiologic technology. Because of the nature of the specialty, the numbers that require training are small, and it is therefore not cost-effective for higher-education institutions in these countrie...
متن کاملExternal radiation dose from patients received diagnostic doses of ²º¹Tl-Chloride and 99mTc-MIBI [Persian]
Patients receiving diagnostic doses of radiopharmaceuticals become a source of contamination and exposure for those who come in contact with them, such as nuclear medicine technologists, relatives and nurses. Therefore, the measurement of external radiation dose from these patients is necessary. In this study, the dose rates at distances of 10, 50 and 100cm from 70 patients who received d...

متن کاملNuclear medicine technologists are able to accurately determine when a myocardial perfusion rest study is necessary
BACKGROUND In myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS), typically a stress and a rest study is performed. If the stress study is considered normal, there is no need for a subsequent rest study. The aim of the study was to determine whether nuclear medicine technologists are able to assess the necessity of a rest study. METHODS Gated MPS using a 2-day 99mTc protocol for 121 consecutive patients...
متن کاملActive Personal Dosimeter in a Nuclear Medicine Center in Yazd City, Iran
Introduction: Active personal dosimeters (APDs) are well accepted as useful and reliable instruments for individual dosimetry measurements. APDs have many advantages compared with passive dosimeters for individual external radiation dose assessments. In routine monitoring, occupational exposure is carried out for verification and demonstration of compliance with the regulatory dose limits. So, ...
