Abstract:
Objective:To study the frequency of clinical nuclear medicine procedures and the distribution of examinees in Jiangxi povince, and to estimate the annual frequency of clinical nuclear medicine procedures in Jiangxi in 2017.
Methods:A survey was made with questionnaires on all medical institutions carrying out clinical nuclear medicine practices in the province.
Results:Except for positron emission tomography (PET) examinations, the frequency of nuclear medicine procedures for females was much higher than that for males. The total frequency of nuclear medicine procedures was 0.67 examinations per 1 000 population in 2017, and the frequencies for diagnosis and treatment were 0.58 and 0.09 examinations per 1 000 population, respectively.
Conclusions:The frequency of clinical nuclear medicine procedures in Jiangxi increased rapidly after the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" period. It is necessary to further standardize the diagnosis and treatment of nuclear medicine procedures, to enhance the awareness of radiation protection of nuclear medicine staff and to promote the healthy and orderly development of nuclear medicine.
