Abstract
A radiopharmaceutical is only as good the care taken in each preparation step throughout compounding process. Since radiopharmaceuticals are intended for human use, it is imperative that they undergo strict quality control measure. Quality control is a set of operation, which involve observation, testing and analysis performed in order to certify that product matches set of standards and hence is suitable for intended use. Quality control testing assures purity, integrity, potency, product identity, biological safety and efficacy of radiopharmaceuticals. The success of diagnostic radiopharmaceutical is reflected in the quality of images of diseased site. Therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals must pass quality control test otherwise results could be life-threatening to the patient.
