| Abstract:: |
| Objective To investigate the basic situation of clinical nuclear medicine resources and their application in medical institutions of Jiangsu province, in order to grasp their distribution characteristics and make an evaluation briefly on distribution eaquity of nuclear medicine resources and application. Methods In the form of online questionnaire, the basic information in the medical institutions conducting clinical nuclear medicine diagnosis and treatment in the provice was collected, including the number and model of nuclear medicine equipment, the number of protection devices, the number of nuclear medicine employees and the application frequency of nuclear medicine. Results In 2020 in Jiangsu province, there were 67 nuclear medicine institutions, 727 employees and 95 nuclear medicine tomography equipment including 38 positron emission tomography (PET) equipment and 54 single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) equipment. The frequencies of imaging and treatment in the medical institutions were 259,686 and 12 186, with average frequency of 3.21 expressed per 1 000 population. The Gini coefficients of nuclear medicine equipment, employees and application based on population distribution in Jangsu province were 0.25, 0.30 and 0.34, respectively. The related Theil indices were 0.044 9,0.062 6 and 0.085 2, respectively. Conclusions The nuclear medicine developed quickly in Jiangsu province in the past ten years. The distribution of all kinds of nuclear medicine resources and application on the basis of continuous increase showed a certain degree of imbalance, and correlation with the level of regional economic development. |
