This morning we visited the Russian Scientific Center of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine. This is one of only two government regulated facilities for diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine in the Moscow region. Their diagnostic scans are completed as outpatient but all treatment doses of radio-iodine require hospitalization with very strict isolation measures . Patients stay in one of 10 rooms that are separate from staff. They stay hospitalized until radioactive is at acceptable levels (measured by whole body emission at 1 meter). All excreted radioactive isotope are collected and stored underground below the facility.
