title: Development of a radiopharmaceutical information database.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This article describes the development of a radiopharmaceutical (RP) computer database. Development and implementation of the database and services provided are presented.
  
  
  METHODS
  A commercial database program was used to develop the structure for a radiopharmaceutical information database (RID) and to classify interaction information into several categories. The database is accessible to a variety of users through a network server.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Information entered into the RID may be accessed easily and rapidly. The RID provides a wide spectrum of information services to its customers.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The RID described is the first attempt to develop a database capable of entry and retrieval of RP information in an efficient and timely manner. The database is easy to use and maintain, and has virtually unlimited storage space on a network drive.
