Abstract

The preparation of radiopharmaceuticals in central radiopharmacies for distribution to several hospitals is practised widely. Transport of the radiopharmaceuticals is usually by road and this activity is regulated by legislation. Two requirements of the legislation are that the consignor issues a transport document for each consignment and maintains a record of all transport of radioactive material. This paper describes a computer database that has been developed for use in a central radiopharmacy to achieve these requirements.
