Excerpt

These recommendations cover routine quality control (QC) of instrumentation used within a nuclear medicine department. Routine QC testing starts after installation of the instrument, and after acceptance testing, and continues on a regular basis throughout its lifetime. Additional periodic tests may be carried out to provide more in-depth testing. Recommendations for acceptance testing are covered in a separate document. These recommendations must be considered in the light of any national guidelines and legislation, which must be followed. The recommendations cover the types of tests to be performed, and suggested frequencies, but they do not specify the protocols to be followed, which are available from other reference sources quoted. …
