Good Radiopharmacy Practices In Magistral (or Inhouse or Smallscale) Produced Radiopharmaceuticals
Journal Title: Nuclear Medicine Seminars - Year 2020, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Radiopharmaceuticals differ from normal medicines in that they have a short half-life. Due to the rapid decay, they must be prepared shortly before their clinical use and comprehensive quality control of the final product is not possible: sterility testing, for instance, cannot be performed due to time limits. Therefore, the safe and effective preparation and use of radiopharmaceuticals are vital for the protection of the operator and final user patient. The purpose of this review is to provide more detailed and practical guidance to those involved in the small-scale preparation of PET, therapeutic or other radiopharmaceuticals for commercial or distribution purposes.
