title: A simplified radiopharmaceutical accountability record-keeping system.
abstract: A comprehensive system has been developed to ensure that a patient receives the proper radiopharmaceutical dose and that records of accountability are conveniently maintained. A radiopharmacy assay/utilization record serves as the control document for source products and derived new products. Color-coded numbered labels are used to maintain accountability among source products, derived products, prescriptions, logbooks, and patient doses. These measures have proved effective in simplifying documentation, minimizing dose-administration errors, and providing for radiopharmaceutical accountability.
