Overview
Nuclear medicine rooms require shielding contamination control and secure storage for radiopharmaceuticals.
Layout and containment
Provide separate uptake rooms injection area and imaging room with shielding and easy to clean surfaces to limit contamination spread.
Equipment and utilities
Plan for lead lined storage refrigerators hot lab ventilation and shielded waste containers and ensure radiation monitoring systems are in place.
Safety and workflow
Implement strict handling protocols patient isolation procedures and staff training for radiation safety and emergency contamination response.
