background: to investigate the status of the nuclear medicine (nm) centers in iran for the performance of dose calibrators, 18 out of 54 centers providing nm services in iran were randomly selected and inspected in 1997. in the first phase of the study the selected centers were inspected for performing of quality control (qc) tests of dose calibrators. the linearity of the activity response, pr...

background: medical x-rays are the largest man-made source of public exposure to ionizing radiation. it is important to avoid conditions where the amount of radiation used is more than that needed for the procedure. materials and methods: the entrance skin exposure (ese) measurement was conducted for quality control of x-ray machines and survey of operator’s experimental techniques. the eses we...

introduction in radiography, dose and image quality are dependent on radiographic parameters. the problem is caused from incorrect use of radiography equipment and from the radiation exposure to patients much more than required. therefore, the aim of this study was to implement a quality-control program to detect changes in exposure parameters, which may affect diagnosis or patient radiation do...

Program quality represents the most significant part of software quality control that assures all characteristics of software products to satisfy the user’s explicit and implicit needs. Though software processes have to be improve to enhance software quality. In this paper we address the problems of software products at the source code level, and deal with those problems by using a coding stand...

cell banking is long –term storing of cell stocks that requires intensive care and maintenance to ensure its adequate quality. the main goal of a biological bank is preparing a repository source of cell culture system in a global manner. on the other hand, cell culture is an invaluable tool for investigators in numerous fields. successful maintenance of cells requires knowledge and practice of ...

backgrounds: thallium-201 is produced through 203tl (p, 3n) 201pb 201tl reaction by cyclotron. this radioisotope has known as one of the cyclotron radioisotopes which is used for myocardial perfusion in the coronary artery disease, tl-201 after chemical purification and quality control in the form of 201tl-chlorid is ready to send to the hospitals. materials and methods: in this work the effect...

stability studies play a critical role in assuring product quality at all points in the vaccine life cycle. these studies used to determine vaccine expiry date and vaccine efficacy. accelerated stability and long term stability study performed for three batches of trivalent oral poliomyelitis vaccine (opv) and three batches of monovalent opv (type1) manufactured by razi institute. after samplin...
