Abstract
The centralized radiopharmacy set up in Spain by the Cetir Medical Group al lows 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 esta blished in November 1995. In this paper, we describe the infrastructure of the centralized radio-pharmacy, including the operations and procedures inv olved, and how we believe we have achieved our original objectives.
