IAEA Updates Ι Publications COVID-19 Pandemic: Technical Guidance for Nuclear Medicine Departments is focused on the infection prevention and control measures that have to be taken into consideration while executing all the steps needed to perform nuclear medicine diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. The publication provides detailed guidance on the adjustment of all the steps involved in the delivery of nuclear medicine services, from scheduling to reporting, during the COVID-19 pandemic. While many institutions will have their own guidelines for clinicians and imaging experts to follow, these recommendations are meant to support nuclear medicine departments interested in developing or refining such policies.
In action - Nuclear applications in agriculture: On-the-ground success, Part V is focused on successes of the partnership between the IAEA and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), through the Joint FAO/IAEA Centre of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture. The application of the Joint FAO/IAEA Centre’s innovative technologies supports countries in meeting global challenges, including towards meeting the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. This and related stories are highlighted in this biennial publication, delving into how the IAEA and the FAO work together to help increase food security and improve nutrition in all its forms; protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial and marine ecosystems and combat climate change; combat rural poverty and promote inclusive, economic growth; and support sustainable consumption and production patterns through sustainable and inclusive supply chains.
