Introduction
Nuclear medicine equipment maintenance is essential for ensuring both patient safety and diagnostic accuracy. From PET/CT scanners to dose calibrators, every component must operate flawlessly to deliver precise imaging results. At Avoor Meddplus, we prioritize preventive maintenance, calibration, and safety compliance to ensure optimal performance and reliability across all nuclear medicine systems.
1. Importance of Regular Nuclear Medicine Equipment Maintenance
Nuclear medicine systems use radioactive tracers and highly sensitive detectors. Even small calibration errors can distort dose measurements and affect patient safety. Routine maintenance ensures accurate readings, extends equipment life, and prevents costly breakdowns.
2. Common Equipment Issues in Nuclear Medicine
- Detector non-uniformity or PMT aging
- Software instability in image processing
- Power supply fluctuations
- Dose calibrator drift
- Shielding or leakage in hot lab areas
These issues can impact both image quality and radiation safety if not addressed promptly through scheduled maintenance.
3. Preventive Maintenance and Calibration Process
Avoor Meddplus engineers follow a structured preventive maintenance schedule that includes:
- Energy and uniformity calibration
- Detector and crystal checks
- Radiation meter validation
- Software updates and QA tests
- Alignment and geometric accuracy verification
Each procedure ensures compliance with AERB and NEMA standards for nuclear imaging systems.
4. Safety and Radiation Compliance
During every service visit, Avoor Meddplus ensures radiation shielding integrity, contamination control, and accurate dose calibration. Our maintenance teams follow radiation protection standards set by AERB (Atomic Energy Regulatory Board) and IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency), ensuring total safety for both operators and patients.
