  • Prevent any possibility of misadministration and promptly report to the licensee and the competent authority in the event of any misadministration, adverse reaction or death of a patient administered with radioactivity.

  • Consider factors such as proper choice of radiopharmaceuticals, monitoring of procedure and immobilisation of the patient in order to minimize absorbed dose to the patient.

  • Consider the justification of diagnosis/therapy on pregnant patients/ lactating mothers in order to limit the exposure to the foetus/infant not exceeding an absorbed dose of 1 mGy.

  • Consider appropriate measures for dose fractionation, in order to minimise non-stochastic effects following radionuclide therapy.

  • Ensure that where the quantity of radioactivity administered to a patient is not in excess of the limits specified.

  • Hospitalize and isolate patients wherever necessary as per safety codes and guidelines. 

  • Prevent the spread of contamination and minimize exposure of staff, other patients and the public.

  • Instruct nursing and ancillary staff on radiation safety and precautions in nursing/management of therapy patients.

  • Obtain informed consent from the relatives of the patient, prior to administration of the therapeutic dose

  • Instruct on the time duration for the avoidance of pregnancy following nuclide therapy such that the absorbed dose to the conceptus shall not exceed 1mGy.

  • Adopt specific dosimetric considerations in pediatric patients to ascertain the risk-benefit ratio.

  • Inform the patient on safety measures to be observed to avoid radiation exposure to the family members and others.

Attached Documents

Documents may be useful for NM Physicians while performing day-to-day routine functioning 

Being NM Professionals, we have spent a lot of time making official documents e.g. consent forms, standing orders, departmental manuals etc. As per standards stipulated by accrediting agencies, they are to be in bilingual format. Over a period of time, we have created a lot of documents and those may be helpful to others too. We thought to share on this platform so that others can be beneficial and can concentrate more on patient work. While preparing documents, SNM/EANM standard procedure guidelines and other quality accrediting agency guidelines have been taken into consideration. We do not say, this would be the best one, but certainly, it would help you to make the best one, which suits your requirement.

​

The documents have been distributed over several pages of this website based on subdepartment concerns. For the NM Physician page, we are sharing registration forms and consent forms. We request other NM professionals to come forward and share their made documents, which would be beneficial to society. The contributor's name with due acknowledgement would be published on this website.

  • Typical Registration Form may be used for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging 

  • Bilingual Consent Form for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging

  • Bilingual Consent Form for Myocardial Perfusion Imaging

  • Bilingual Consent Form for Low and High Dose Radioiodine Therapy

  • Bilingual Consent Form for Lu-177 DOTA  Therapy

  • Bilingual Consent Form for Sm-153 Bone pain palliation

Youtube tutorials

​

Nuclear Medicine Solutions prepares youtube tutorials on various topics related to Nuclear Medicine. In the same series, we have prepared a video on "Mechanism of localisation of Radiopharmaceuticals". There are two parts to this video and it is the first series by Mrs Indira Upadhyay, MSc, DMRIT on this channel. She is a very senior Nuclear Medicine Professional and in this field since 1991.
