Abstract

This document is intended to reflect best practice for the radiolabelling of blood components in the UK, and is offered to the Nuclear Medicine community as a reference source based on opinions and experience from senior practitionrs of radiopharmacy.

Very little evidence-based information exists on the subject, and thus the guidance represents current agreed practice in the field.
