Abstract
This paper aims to demonstrate the importance of the regulatory inspections carried outby the Brazilian regulatory body in the area of nuclear medicine. The main aspectsobserved during the inspections are presented as well as the time evolution of thenon-compliances, according to their occurrence by type. We also evaluate factorsconcerning the working of the nuclear medicine facility responsible for solving thenon-compliances. The results suggest a decrease of occurrence of non-compliances withtime that can be related to the strictness of the inspections and the awareness of thepersonnel in the nuclear medicine facilities. An analysis of radiation dose exposure levels forthe professionals involved in nuclear medicine was carried out; although dose values arebelow regulatory dose limits, their occurrence is not decreasing satisfactorily.Results indicate the need for staff training and commitment of the responsiblenuclear medicine facility staff to the radiological protection procedures. Our resultsalso emphasise the importance of continuous coercive actions to improve thelevel of radiological protection in nuclear medicine facilities in compliance withthe standards established by the national regulatory authority and internationalrecommendations.
