To evaluate the status of nuclear medicine in Beijing during 2005.
For evaluating the status, a survey was performed in September 2006 by postal questionnaires. Forty-two nuclear medicine departments in Beijing were investigated regarding staff, equipment and clinical applications.
Up to January 2007, thirty nuclear medicine departments had responded to our survey (response rate, 71.4%). These departments employed a total of 321 staff (141 physicians, 122 technicians, seven physicists, 22 nurses and 29 other staff) and were equipped with 47 scanners (42 SPECT, three PET, two PET/CT) before September 2006. During 2005, these departments completed 88 135 scans (84 734 SPECT, 3401 PET), 462 246 radioimmunoassays and 2228 radioisotope treatment (1288 Graves' disease, 268 thyroid cancer, 166 bone metastasis, 506 other). Furthermore, eight major hospitals hired more highly qualified staff with greater experience, such as professors or associate professors, and who had more clinical applications than did non-majors. The percentage of the departments that conducted daily and monthly quality control procedures was 43.3% and 40.0%, respectively.
Nuclear medicine departments in Beijing are on a considerable scale, but still have a long way to go in order to be well developed. Hospitals in Beijing should increase the number of physicists and perform QA/QC procedures more frequently.
评估2005年北京市核医学的现状。
为评估现状，于2006年9月通过邮寄问卷进行了一项调查。对北京市42个核医学科室的人员、设备及临床应用情况进行了调查。
截至2007年1月，30个核医学科室回复了我们的调查（回复率为71.4%）。这些科室共聘用员工321名（141名医师、122名技术人员、7名物理师、22名护士及29名其他人员），在2006年9月之前配备了47台扫描仪（42台单光子发射计算机断层扫描仪、3台正电子发射断层扫描仪、2台正电子发射断层/计算机断层扫描仪）。2005年期间，这些科室完成了88135次扫描（84734次单光子发射计算机断层扫描、3401次正电子发射断层扫描）、462246次放射免疫分析及2228次放射性核素治疗（1288例格雷夫斯病、268例甲状腺癌、166例骨转移、506例其他疾病）。此外，8家大型医院聘用了更多资质更高、经验更丰富的人员，如教授或副教授，且其临床应用比非大型医院更多。进行每日和每月质量控制程序的科室百分比分别为43.3%和40.0%。
北京市核医学科室规模可观，但要实现良好发展仍有很长的路要走。北京的医院应增加物理师数量，并更频繁地执行质量保证/质量控制程序。
