Minimizing human error in radiopharmaceutical preparation and administration via a bar code-enhanced nuclear pharmacy management system.
UNLABELLED The objective of this project was to ensure correct radiopharmaceutical administration through the use of a bar code system that links patient and drug profiles with on-site information management systems. This new combined system would minimize the amount of manual human manipulation, which has proven to be a primary source of error. The most common reason for dosing errors is impro...
متن کاملNUCLEAR PHARMACY Dose from Syringe Procedures During Technetium-99m Radiopharmaceutical Preparation
We examined the dose from mTc contained in syringes and shielded vials to assess in detail the dose burdens in a central pharmacy. Methods: Absorbed-dose rates at the end of the plunger of a shielded syringe, when mTc is contained either in the syringe or in a shielded vial from which the activity would be drawn, were measured with CaF2 dosimeters. The dose rates also were calculated with a Mon...

متن کاملError Estimates for a Bar Code Reconstruction Method
We analyze a variational method for reconstructing a bar code signal from a blurry and noisy measurement. The bar code is modeled as a binary function with a finite number of transitions and a parameter controlling minimal feature size. The measured signal is the convolution of this binary function with a Gaussian kernel. In this work, we assume that the blur kernel is known and establish condi...
متن کاملMATLAB CODE FOR AN ENHANCED VIBRATING PARTICLES SYSTEM ALGORITHM
Vibrating particles system (VPS) is a new meta-heuristic algorithm based on the free vibration of freedom system’ single degree with viscous damping. In this algorithm, each agent gradually approach to its equilibrium position; new agents are generated according to current agents and a historically best position. Enhanced vibrating particles system (EVPS) employs a new alternative procedu...
