Objective(s): Diagnostic nuclear medicine is being increasingly employed in clinical practice with the advent of new technologies and radiopharmaceuticals. The report of the prevalence of a certain disease is important for assessing the quality of that article. Therefore, this study was performed to evaluate the quality of published nuclear medicine articles and determine the frequency of repor...

Introduction: In the current study, we compared the h-indices of Web of Science (WOS), SCOPUS, and GS of the Iranian nuclear medicine scientists Methods: Full time members of two major nuclear medicine research centers of Iran with more than 5 year of experience (Nuclear Medicine Research Center of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, and Research Institute for Nuclear Medicine of Tehran Un...

background: people who have been administrated radiopharmaceuticals could be a source of radiation to their relatives, medical nurses, and people who are in contact with them. the aim of this work was to estimate radiation dose received by nuclear medicine nurses. materials and methods: in this study, the dose rates at various distances of 5 – 100 cm from 70 patients, who were administered diag...

background: ct scan and nuclear medicine exams deliver a great part of medical exposures. this study examined professional radiation hazards in ct scan and nuclear medicine workers.   methods : in a cross sectional study 30 occupationally exposed workers and 7 controls (all from personnel of a laboratory) were selected. physical dosimetry was performed for exposed workers. blood samples were ob...

solitary pulmonary nodule (spn) is a frequent finding on the chest x-ray and computed tomography. nuclear medicine techniques play an important role in the diagnosis and management of spn. in the current review, we briefly will explain the different nuclear medicine modalities in this regard including positron emission tomography (pet) using 18-f-fdg, and 11-c-methionine, and single photon emis...
