Additional comments

The calculator result represents the total number of medical physicists and technicians. The following table presents recommended combinations of radiological physicists and technicians based on the calculator results.

Calculated number of required medical physicists and technicians (x) Recommended combination of employees
Medical physicists Medical technicians
x <= 1 1 0
1 < x < 2 1 1
2 < x < 3 2 0
3 < x < 4 2 1
4 < x < 5 2 2
*presence of inpatient department for unsealed sources therapy * +0 * +1

The calculator does not reflect the following factors:

Note: The calculator displays a result of 0.16 required medical physicists and technicians even in the case when none of the input fields is filled in. This minimal number is necessary for the administration related to the personal dosimetry and further administration required at nuclear medicine departments.
