Teste de proficiência para medições de radioatividade na medicina nuclear

Abstract

calibrate instruments and evaluating the performance of activity measurements allows the establishment of quality assurance programs in the use of radiopharmaceuticals. In nuclear medicine centers (NMCs) many types of radioactive substances are utilized in the diagnosis and therapy routines. The instrument utilized for measuring these radiopharmaceuticals activity is the radionuclide calibrator also known as curimeter or dose calibrator.
