Abstract
The aim of the current study is to provide a critical analysis of the current hygienic requirements to the design of the PET, PET/CT and PET/MRI centers and departments. The study included the evaluation of the Russian legislative documents containing the requirements for the design of the PET centers and departments, engineering, technological, licensing and other documentation of the working PET centers in St-Petersburg. It was determined, that, despite the existence of the actual direct action document (SanPiN2.6.1.3288-15 “Hygienic requirements on the provision of the radiation safety for the preparation and performance of the positron emission tomography”, it is necessary to consider the hygienic requirements from other legislative documents, hence complicating the process of design and project approval. Some of the actual issues related to the design and allocation of these objects have not been considered in detail: requirements for the transfer platforms for the dispatch and reception of the radiopharmaceuticals, management of the activities and allocation of the mobile PET complexes, etc. Considering the planned increase of the number of PET centers in Russia, it is necessary to further increase and optimize the existing legislation.
