(Re)thinking patient education and preparation in Nuclear Medicine and Radiology Departments: Perspectives from Technologists and recent-graduates. Annual Congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine, 49 (Suplemento 1), 95.http://hdl.handle.net/10400.22/21298Patient-centered approach is gaining prominence in several areas of Medicine and is increasingly considered as an important paradigm for the provision of quality healthcare. The communication established between health professionals and patients in hospitals became increasingly seen as fundamental and to be valued, namely in areas such as Radiology (RD) or Nuclear Medicine (NM). Patient education is therefore a common practice in the NM and RD departments, mainly due to the lack of knowledge about this kind of procedures, which is believed to be a reality, based on our empirical evidence and on data not yet published. The aim of this study is to characterize current practices used in patient education in Portuguese Departments of Nuclear Medicine and Radiology.engconference object
