Radiation Exposure Awareness From Patients Undergoing Nuclear Medicine Diagnostic Scans

This questionnaire is aimed at finding out if patients understand how much radiation they are being exposed to when they have a bone scan (99mTc-MDP)or an FDG PET/CT scan (18F-FDG PET/CT). This questionnaire is also interested in understanding if patients consider current leaflet information sent with appointment letter as sufficient to understand what the radiation dose from that scan is. By collecting information on how much patients are aware and understand about radiation exposure, we can use this information to develop better guidance for medical staff who advise patients as well as clearer information leaflets for patients to assist in their understanding.
