Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of dose information obtained from the digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) using the study description for dose management in nuclear medicine (nuclear medicine SD), and to investigate the feasibility of nuclear medicine SD.
Methods:
Single-photon emission nuclear medicine examinations and radionuclide therapy from June 1 to June 30 in 2021 (our hospital master period) and 2023 (nuclear medicine SD period) were included. The dose information in the radioisotope administration record was taken as the true value, and the agreement rate of the examination type, radiopharmaceutical, and dose in the dose management system and the error rate of the dose in the nuclear medicine SD period were calculated.
Results:
The agreement rate of examination type and radiopharmaceutical was improved from 37.5% to 97.0% by using nuclear medicine SD, and the agreement rate of dose was 54.0%.
Conclusion:
The use of nuclear medicine SD has remarkably improved the integrity of dose information. Dose consistency can be improved by unifying the checking system and the input method of dose information. The feasibility of nuclear medicine SD seems to be high in many facilities, and it may contribute to information collaboration among multi-center facilities and enable centralization of dose management systems.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
