Complications during PET / CT examinations and frequency of occurration at the Department of Nuclear Medicine in České Budějovice Hospital, a.s.

This thesis is focused on complications at PET/CT examinations. The complications at these examinations are either processes which complicate the progress of examination within the meaning of affection of the quality of outcome efficiency or health complications as the linear after effect of PET/CT examination. In the first example it concerns of uncooperative patients with the excessive movements during examination or complicated venous acces for giving off intravenous screening substances. In the second example the most substantial complications are allergic reaction after delivery of jodinate contrasti substance. The object of this work was to follow complications at PET/CT examinations at the department of nuclear medicine of hostpital in České Budějovice, a.s. (here in after NEMČB), to do their analysis and in case of possibilities to suggest some systemic preventive measures. At the teoretical part of work I foccused on basic information about PET/CT device, the process of examination and all the facts related with it. At the description of particular complications I used my experience from the internship directly at the department of nuclear medicine at the NEMČB. Based on the inspection of actual state of affairs was set the hypothesis: 1. The most frequent complication at the PET/CT examinations are caused by the patients who do not cooperate. For the practical part was undertaken quantitative analysis. Data acquisition was done at the department of nuclear medicine of NEMČB by analysis of documentation of performed examinations in the term from January 2019 to June 2019. Datas were found out from application documents, the complications were then divided into four categories similarly teoretical part. Datas were statisticaly and graphicaly processed. The results of the work is possible to use as a basis for better quality of screening processes at the department of nuclear medicine and equally as the study material
