Nuclear Medicine instruments have the potential to provide quantitative information and its distribution with time. This information provides the basis for internal dosimetry and is needed to properly optimize the use of any radiopharmaceutical. Patient specific dosimetry is often a legal obligation when administering radiopharmaceuticals for therapy. There are, however, no harmonized protocols or guidelines for acquiring quantitative information from Nuclear Medicine instruments. Nor are there documents that address the possibilities and limitations of these instruments for quantitative information. This CRP aims at addressing this gap.
