Description

This article presents a preliminary study, relative to quality control procedures to plane and tomographic (SECT) medical images, done by means of scintillation cameras. The study intends to consider and justify the most important aspects that should compose a quality control program program in the area. For so much, were considered international protocols that have been adopted all over the world, especially in developing countries, and the own Brazilian medical nuclear norm. (author)
