Resumo
Brazil has been facing great challenges related to the public health care system, not being able to
manage the high national demand for diagnostic imaging tests, therefore avoiding the possibility
of an early diagnosis for oncological and cardiovascular diseases. An important medical specialty
for providing an early and accurate diagnosis is Nuclear Medicine. Early diagnosis is crucial for
health professionals to make decisions that enable more effective treatments and improve the
chances of cure.
Due to the irreversible damages caused to patient’s health resulting of delay in diagnosis, this
research project carried out at Nuclear and Energy Research Institute (IPEN/CNEN), together
private companies and associated institutions, focus on regulatory requirements and economic
feasibility for developing a mobile unit with hybrid Single Photon Emission Computed
Tomography/Computed Tomography (SPECT/CT) equipment and radiopharmaceuticals facilities
for radiolabeling reagents kits with technetium-99m.
A mobile SPECT/CT unit with adequate radiopharmacy facilities will be an excellent innovative
solution to support Brazilian public hospitals to address the demand for diagnostic imaging tests.
This mobile unit could provide health care in isolated areas or even big cities where there are
shortage of health resources and high mortality rate for cancer and heart disease.
