Information Given To Patients Undergoing Nuclear Medicine Procedures

Abstract

In this study, we have examined the information given to patients whom are undergoing nuclear medicine procedures – and in particular the information on radiation and exposure. We collected the written information provided prior and during the examination and conducted a small survey amongst patients on the information given. The main findings show that as these patients are sources of radiation to their surroundings, information about this should be made available for the patients in order to make the necessary precautions.
