Abstract

A questionnaire was sent to 251 nuclear medicine centres asking for details of nuclear medicine activity, and nuclear cardiology activity and practice in 1997. One hundred and seventy-one (68%) centres replied. Nuclear medicine activity was estimated at 11.8 studies/1,000 population/year, and 9.5% of these studies were within cardiology (1.12 studies/1,000/year). Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) studies accounted for 77% and radionuclide ventriculography (RNV) for 22% of all nuclear cardiology. On a national basis this represents activity levels of 0.86 and 0.25 studies/1,000/year for MPI and RNV, respectively. Of the 171 responding centres, 102 (60%) performed MPI studies and 81 (79%) of these reported that activity was increasing. However, MPI activity was unevenly distributed between hospitals. Two centres accounted for 13% of total MPI; others had far lower activity rates, and 51/102 (50%) centres performed less than 200 MPI studies/year. Comparison with previous surveys showed that nuclear medicine activity had almost doubled since 1990 (it was 6.0 studies/1,000 population in 1990, 9.3 studies/1,000 in 1994 and 11.8 studies/1,000 in 1997). Over the same period, nuclear cardiology activity had also risen, the greatest increase being seen for the last 3 years (it was 0.7 studies/1,000 population in 1990, 0.82 studies/1,000 in 1994 and 1.12 studies/1,000 in 1997). Despite these encouraging figures, MPI activity for 1997 remained well below that recommended by the British Cardiac Society in 1994 (2.6 studies/1,000/year) as adequate to serve the needs of patients with cardiac disease in the UK; it was also below the European average activity for the same year (2.2 studies/1,000/year). The anticipated increased workload for nuclear cardiology is encouraging despite the wide and varied practice of nuclear cardiology around the UK. The nuclear medicine community now needs to address the issues that will prevent it keeping up with demand, such as restricted camera time, excessive waiting lists and outdated equipment, but also to standardise acquisition and reporting techniques so that all studies, wherever performed, will be of a uniformly high standard.

摘要

一份调查问卷被发送至251家核医学中心,询问其1997年核医学活动、核心脏病学活动及实践的详细情况。171家(68%)中心进行了回复。据估计,核医学活动为每年每1000人11.8项检查,其中9.5%的检查属于心脏病学范畴(每年每1000人1.12项检查)。心肌灌注显像(MPI)检查占所有核心脏病学检查的77%,放射性核素心室造影(RNV)占22%。就全国范围而言,这分别代表MPI和RNV每年每1000人0.86项和0.25项检查的活动水平。在171家回复的中心中,102家(60%)进行MPI检查,其中81家(79%)报告活动量在增加。然而,MPI活动在医院之间分布不均。两家中心占MPI检查总量的13%;其他中心的活动率则低得多,51/102(50%)的中心每年进行的MPI检查少于200项。与以往调查相比,自1990年以来核医学活动几乎翻了一番(1990年为每年每1000人6.0项检查,1994年为9.3项,1997年为11.8项)。在同一时期,核心脏病学活动也有所增加,过去3年增幅最大(1990年为每年每1000人0.7项检查,1994年为0.82项,1997年为1.12项)。尽管有这些令人鼓舞的数据,但1997年的MPI活动仍远低于英国心脏病学会1994年建议的水平(每年每1000人2.6项检查),不足以满足英国心脏病患者的需求;也低于同年的欧洲平均活动水平(每年每1000人2.2项检查)。尽管英国各地核心脏病学的实践广泛且多样,但核心脏病学预期增加的工作量仍令人鼓舞。核医学领域现在需要解决一些问题,这些问题会阻碍其满足需求,比如检查时间受限、等候名单过长和设备陈旧等,同时还需要规范采集和报告技术,以便无论在何处进行的所有检查都能达到统一的高标准。
