Abstract: Engineering is often perceived through large visible infrastructures; however, some of its most impactful contributions occur silently within healthcare facilities. The nuclear medicine centre represents one of the most intricate intersections of engineering and clinical medicine. Their successful establishment depends on the seamless integration of civil, electrical, mechanical, architectural and information technology disciplines, all operating within a stringent radiation safety framework. The design and execution of such facilities are governed by regulatory requirements laid down by the respective country’s regulatory authority, which in India is Atomic Energy Regulatory Board. The role of engineering is to create a safe, efficient and patient-centric nuclear medicine centre, emphasising regulatory compliance, operational workflow and future-ready design.
