Society of Nuclear Medicine Procedure Guideline for Telenuclear Medicine
نویسنده
چکیده
Telenuclear medicine refers to nuclear medicine interpretation or consultation at a location distant from that at which the data is acquired. There is a continuum of separation between the physical location of the acquisition and interpretation, but telenuclear medicine is meant to imply that the interpretation is relatively remote as compared with the typical interpretation. Because telenuclear medicine may allow more timely interpretation and facilitate consultation, it can provide improved health care. For example, it may enable increased availability of nuclear medicine in underserved areas. New uses for this evolving technology are likely to emerge. Telenuclear medicine equipment is used to implement telenuclear medicine. The same equipment may be used for both onsite and telenuclear medicine. This guideline will focus on special considerations when nuclear medicine equipment is used at remote locations. Distribution of images in a single imaging center falls into the realm of picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) and is not the major focus of this document.

متن کاملThe Iranian Society of Nuclear Medicine practical guideline on radioligand therapy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer using 177Lu-PSMA
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a type II transmembrane protein, which is anchored in the cell membrane of prostate epithelial cells. It is highly expressed on prostate epithelial cells and strongly up-regulated in prostate cancer. Although, 177Lu-PSMA has been recently introduced for radionuclide therapy of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with co...

Reverse redistribution pattern is defined as decreased activity in the myocardium in the rest phase of the myocardial perfusion scan in comparison with the stress images. There are many studies concerning the etiology and clinical significant of this phenomenon in nuclear medicine literature. The dominant idea about etiology of reverse redistribution is early wash out of the radiotracer f...
