title: Experiences in setting up the first centralized radiopharmacy in Spain.
abstract: The centralized radiopharmacy set up in Spain by the Cetir Medical Group allows optimal use of radiopharmaceuticals and complies with laws (Directive 89/343/EEC and Royal Decree 479/1993/Spain) governing their use. More than 220,000 individual patient doses have been supplied since the unit was established in November 1995. In this paper, we describe the infrastructure of the centralized radiopharmacy, including the operations and procedures involved, and how we believe we have achieved our original objectives.
