title: South Thames quality standard for nuclear medicine equipment. South Thames Region Nuclear Medicine Specialty Service Committee.
abstract: A survey of the quality assurance of the nuclear medicine equipment in use in the South Thames Region was undertaken as part of the clinical audit process within the region. The results revealed the variation in practice across the region and highlighted the need for an agreed quality standard, together with the appropriate level of physics support to provide that standard.
