- Abstract
10.2967/jnumed.120.245738 8 Assadi M, Gholamrezanezhad A, Jokar N. Key elements of preparedness for pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in nuclear medicine units. Diagnostic scintigraphy procedures were most severely affected in the benign disease setting, with myocardial perfusion scintigraphy, ventilation lung scintigraphy, thyroid scintigraphy and bone scintigraphy suffering the greatest impact. Discussion Nuclear medicine departments were no exception with regard to the general influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare systems worldwide. Finally, while the scope of this survey was mainly focused on changes in healthcare in nuclear medicine units, the EANM, its national member societies and individual institutions are also the ones providing speciality training and academic research in nuclear medicine.
