Abstract

The aim of this work is to present the results of the first round of intercomparison measurements of activity of   99mTc and 131I. This round was carried out in Recife/PE. Six nuclear medicine services (NMS), public and private, participated in this intercomparison. Additionally to the activity measurement, some information about equipments (calibration and quality control program) and human resources was obtained. All NMS participants complied with the limit established by CNEN for the accuracy of measurement (±10%) for 99mTc and 131I. Measurements will be repeated for  99mTc and 131I, and additional rounds will be performed including different radionuclides.
