A importância da logística no transporte de material radioativo de meia vida, utilizado na medicina nuclear

Abstract

The discovery of the possibility of utilization of radiation in medicine was a water divisor, both in medicine, and in the nuclear industry itself, that there this fusion, brought a big gain for both sides in several aspects, and much more for the patient that was beneficiated with a bigger precision in the diagnostics of your exams, thus enabling, a better treatment and more probability of cure. With the finality to understand the importance of transportation logistics of this kind of material, and the complexity in relation to the useful lifetime of the radioactive material, was identified that the logistics is of paramount importance to the success of this exam, by the necessity of a well done planning and everything be aligned by the manufacture to the end point. It is a material that shortly after its manufacture, every passing minute the radiation level decrease, which is extremely important to the nuclear medicine, because this substance is of a essential importance to a adequate visualization parts of FDG-18-F, this sugar with radiation doses, which tends to concentrate in the body diseased areas, facilitating the visualization of them by the PET Scan machine.
