Abstract

The ultimate goal of any facility involved in the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals should be the generation of products that are safe and effective. Although this is a fairly obvious statement and almost all nuclear medicine personnel and radiopharmaceutical chemists would affirm that they do this, they cannot always prove their assertion; the failure is evidenced by a lack of sufficient data, lack of proper validation, or lack of documentation.
