How frequently should NMEA Nu-2 testing be conducted for PET quality control?

NMEA Nu-2 testing is designed to ensure the quality and safety of PET imaging systems. Conducting this test annually aligns with established guidelines and quality control protocols that emphasize thorough yet less frequent evaluations, allowing for any necessary maintenance or adjustments to be made without overburdening the operational schedule. By testing annually, facilities can ensure that they are in compliance with standards while conserving resources. This frequency allows for sufficient time to identify trends and make improvements based on data collected over time. Regular audits and checks can still be implemented throughout the year, but the formal NMEA Nu-2 testing schedule is appropriately set to once a year to maintain optimal performance and compliance.
