title: [Quality assurance of nuclear medicine measuring systems: what do the new regulations say?].
abstract: New specifications for quality control of nuclear medical instrumentation are given in the German "Richtlinie Strahlenschutz in der Medizin", published in 1993. These specifications include the corresponding DIN-Normen, the German standards. In both papers the description of the various test procedures is given in a very abbreviated form, so that many of the people having to perform these test procedures are more or less puzzled. This paper will provide for a better understanding of what is meant and will also give many useful hints in performing the test procedures. A discussion of the necessary test phantoms and auxiliary devices completes this paper.
