Erdheim-Chester disease and nuclear medicine imaging. A case report and brief review.

Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare clonal myeloid neoplasm typically affecting adults over 50 years old, with bone lesions in almost all patients. The prognosis is poor in most cases if left untreated. Clinical manifestations are not specific, which hinders early diagnosis.

The Quality of Health Services Provided to Patients Undergoing Myocardial Perfusion Imaging by a Nuclear Medicine Department.

Background: Nuclear medicine procedures can be delivered in different healthcare settings, such as outpatient centers, medical clinics, mobile units, and hospitals. The process of providing care to the patient can be modified according to the provision arrangement; however, the basic level of quality of service should be maintained, and continuous improvement should be pursued.

Objective: The objective of this research study is to investigate the quality of health services provided to patients undergoing myocardial perfusion imaging by a nuclear medicine department.
