Family Conference Template There has not been a physicians meeting to discuss this matter. There will be meeting on Wednesday, October 21, 2009. Has this been actioned? Dose reductions. Has this been actioned? Rounding to m2: Has this been drawn up? Mark and Shirley Re: Scheduling of nuclear imaging (PET/CT or CT with a GFR) The concern was that if we ask for a PET/CT or CT (it is the issue of the CT contrast) and a GFR on the same visit or within a few days the GFR needs to be done prior to the PET/CT or CT because it can affect the GFR. However when they are booked the booking clerk does not know this, either we need to catch it or we get a phone call from nuc med saying the GFR cannot be done. There was also an issue with ultrasound refusing to do an ultrasound when the patient was injected for GFR first, as they were concerned with exposure the isotope that was injected so we need to call both departments for this to go ahead. This was an item that was previously forgotten. Has it been actioned?
