Since then, the virus has spread to affect more countries worldwide. During this period, our nuclear medicine department at Singapore General Hospital segregated our staff and patients by time, by space, or both, to minimize contact and prevent spread of the virus. Necessary changes to our clinical practices and stricter infection control measures were also enforced. We share our personal experience in managing a nuclear medicine department during this epidemic. | Source Title: | JOURNAL OF NUCLEAR MEDICINE TECHNOLOGY | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/241839 | ISSN: | 0091-4916 1535-5675 |
