| contents | Comparative analysis of equipment performance in nuclear medicine V. M. Paula D. Braz L. V. de Sá Biología Performance quality control nuclear medicine To ensure satisfactory equipment performance, image reliability and accurate diagnosis a set of measurements and analysis named as quality control (QC) has to be established. QC is a routine practice where the essential equipment performance or procedure is evaluated by comparing the results to a predefined acceptable range. Currently there are 448 Nuclear Medicine Services (NMS) in Brazil that have to comply with the standards and regulations stablished by Brazilian regulatory agencies, the Comissão Nacional de Energia Nuclear (CNEN) and the Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA). Both National authorities, CNEN and ANVISA, must control and ensure compliance with their national regulations including quality control tests of equipment be fulfilled by all NMS operating in Brazil. However, these standards do not establish minimum performance requirements for most of the tests and do not guarantee the required quality to the population health care. This paper aims to evaluate and analyze the performance limits of the quality control tests in nuclear medicine practice requested in Brazilian standards and to compare them with available requirements addressed in international recommendations. Regarding performance limit evaluation many of the requested tests do not address a methodology or minimum performance values to ensure what is considered satisfactory in a quality control test. It was found that Brazilian NMS standards need revision when compared to international recommendations. 2020 artículo científico 2319-0612 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=722280904002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7222 Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Proteção Radiológica - SBPR Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences (Brasil) Num.1B Vol.8 |
