American Medicine
What are the common diagnostic reference levels in American nuclear medicine?
I would like to know what doses are most often given to patients undergoing diagnostic nuclear medicine investigations in the health care system of the United States. Im thinking things like HDP/MDP Tc99m Bones scans, myocardial perfusion, multiple gated heart analysis and renograms etc.
Please note by dose I do not mean Sieverts or Grays but in terms of activity i.e. Curies or preferably Bequerels. Ta very much!
