“…At rest, a 20 mm dose of Ci 99mTc-sestamibi is introduced and, after an interval of 30-40 minutes, the image is taken. In the stress phase, the same element and dose is introduced with the help of a drug that stimulates stress, but the image acquisition time decreases to between 15-30 minutes (Dondi, 2018, Reis et al, 2017. Static or dynamic renal scintigraphy is a method indicated for the analysis of the functionality of the renal system, being possible to detect some inflammation or some type of renal scar, in more serious cases, these damages can cause loss of renal function.…”

“…Dondi et al 1 in their study on inter-reader variability of SPECT MPI readings in low-and middle-income countries provide the results of an audit, and they concluded that the role of training implemented by the IAEA is fundamental to educational activities having a positive impact on the diagnostic interpretation of MPI. 2 The IAEA through the establishment of RTCs has facilitated the equitable sharing of knowledge in nuclear cardiology, with a view to ensure that professionals from developing countries have access to quality education for the optimal performance of their functions.…”

“…É fato que nos últimos anos, a Física Nuclear teve desenvolvimentos importantes na área da saúde humana, por meio da medicina nuclear com o surgimento de tecnologias de grande impacto na saúde [6]. Um crescente número de exames de imagem tem sido realizado com uso de diferentes tipos de radiação e partículas, o que também traz complicações como afirma Dondi [7], devido à inexistência de um guia que oriente as práticas e procedimentos nucleares em medicina, o que viria a facilitar a qualidade do serviço e a segurança do paciente. Um grande número de pacientes recebe tratamento oncológico por meio da radiação produzida por aceleradores de partículas ou fontes naturais de radiação, como o césio-137, que é um isótopo radioativo (radioisótopo do elemento químico Césio), o iodo-131, outro radioisótopo muito usado no tratamento de câncer de tiroide, entre outros amplamente utilizados na medicina nuclear.…”
