At the end of December 2019, acute respiratory
infectious diseases caused by a new type of
coronavirus were prevalent in Wuhan and other cities of
China. Different from
radiology examinations, the
protocols of nuclear
medical imaging examinations are complicated, in which more
workplaces and staff are needed, resulting more complex management of
patients and higher
protection requirements. Combined with the characteristics of
SPECT and
PET imaging procedures, this
paper puts forward some
suggestions on the protective process of imaging examinations for
patients with confirmed or suspected novel
coronavirus infection. The main purpose is to protect
medical staff from
virus infection, effectively reduce the
risk of
virus transmission during the examination process, and ensure the medical quality and
safety.
