The scope of the inspection included:
- Document inspection and building design compliance with radiation protection requirements,
- Evaluation of the adequacy of radiation barrier walls in critical rooms such as radiopharmaceutical preparation, enumeration, radiopharmaceutical administration, imaging, and decontamination,
- Verification of the performance of primary and supporting equipment,
- Measurement of radiation exposure,
- Inspection of patient flow, radioactive waste management systems, patient-specific restrooms, and source protection and safety equipment.
- The team also ensured that the personnel operating the facility were competent and met applicable standards.
EMC Grha Kedoya Hospital welcomed the verification and expressed its commitment to immediately follow up on all technical notes provided by the BAPETEN team within the specified timeframe. The entire verification process proceeded smoothly.
The presence of this nuclear medicine facility with PET/CT technology demonstrates EMC Grha Kedoya Hospital's efforts to improve oncology diagnostic services, particularly for the people of Jakarta and the surrounding areas who require more accurate and comprehensive cancer screenings.
