Medical equipment for nuclear medicine and scintigraphy

Nuclear medicine and scintigraphy

Nuclear medicine is a medical imaging technique that requires injecting a low dose of radioactive material into the human body through an intravenous line to observe specific organs or tissues. Nuclear medicine examinations are prescribed for several reasons, such as detecting tumors, monitoring the progress of a disease, diagnosing inflammation, or checking the functioning of specific tissues and organs. They often complement other medical imaging techniques, such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. Nuclear medicine scans are usually performed in hospital nuclear medicine departments and nuclear medicine clinics. A CT scan is an example of a medical test that uses nuclear medicine techniques.

There are several types of scans: bone scans, which look at the bones and joints; heart scans, which look at the heart and blood flow; kidney scans, which look at the function of the kidneys; lung scans, which look at the flow of air and blood through the lungs; and thyroid scans, which look at the role of the thyroid gland. All of these medical tests require specialized medical equipment for nuclear medicine and scanning. To ensure the comfort of both the patient and the healthcare professional, it is essential to use ergonomic medical equipment.

In addition, by choosing appropriate medical equipment for the task, the risk of medical personnel developing musculoskeletal disorders or chronic pain can be reduced.

Medical equipment for nuclear medicine and scintigraphy: treatment chairs

Treatment chairs are among the medical equipment frequently used for nuclear medicine and scintigraphy. Several criteria must be considered to ensure the selection of an ergonomic treatment chair that guarantees the comfort of the patient throughout the treatment as well as the comfort of the medical professional in performing his or her tasks. For example, to avoid the need for medical staff to use excessive force to set up the patient, it is recommended that a treatment chair with electric adjustment mechanisms be chosen.

Generally, treatment chairs are adjustable in height. The backrest and leg section can also be reclined. It is best to use a treatment chair with wheels and carrying handles to make it easier for the patient to move around while in the chair. In addition, to ensure patient comfort throughout treatment, a treatment chair with comfortable and durable cushioning should be chosen. Finally, to ensure a sound long-term investment, it is a good idea to consider the warranties offered with the medical equipment. Another important aspect is its resistance to the cleaning products commonly used in healthcare facilities.

The HEMA+ treatment chair is an example of an ergonomic treatment chair that meets these and other criteria. It has been designed to accommodate many types of procedures and short-term treatments. It is therefore recommended as medical equipment for use in nuclear medicine and scintigraphy.
