Radiation, Contamination, DesignAbstract
Innovative design approaches to prevent radiation contamination in nuclear medicine departments have been examined. Nuclear medicine departments are high-risk areas for radiation contamination due to the use of radioactive materials. The strategies employed to prevent the spread of radiation in the design of these departments have been detailed. Theranostic approaches, which utilize radiopharmaceuticals in both diagnostic and therapeutic processes, have been emphasized, and the measures aimed at minimizing radiation exposure for patients, personnel, and the public have been evaluated. The proposed design model suggests a spatial arrangement that separates the movement pathways of patients, personnel, and caregivers to minimize the risk of radiation contamination. In conclusion, it has been demonstrated that the integration of appropriate architectural design principles can significantly reduce the risk of radiation exposure in nuclear medicine departments, thereby ensuring a safe environment for both patients and healthcare professionals
