The correct administration to a patient of the prescribed activity of a radiopharmaceutical is an important factor to ensure the confidence in the diagnosis or the therapeutic efficiency, while at the same time keeping the unnecessary human exposure as low as possible. Comparisons of activity measurements for 131I, 201Tl and 99mTc with radionuclide calibrators were organized the first time in Cuba during 2002 with the aim of obtaining information about the quality of administration of radiopharmaceuticals. Ten Cuban nuclear medicine departments and the laboratories involved in the production of these kinds of compounds participated in the comparison runs. The results presented in this paper facilitated the identification of several problems and initiated corrective actions. In addition, they indicate the necessity of establishing Quality Systems in nuclear medicine in Cuba.
向患者正确给予规定活度的放射性药物是确保诊断可信度或治疗效果的重要因素，同时要尽可能降低不必要的人体照射。2002年，古巴首次组织了用放射性核素校准仪对¹³¹I、²⁰¹Tl和⁹⁹ᵐTc活度测量的比对，目的是获取有关放射性药物给药质量的信息。十个古巴核医学科室以及参与这些化合物生产的实验室参加了比对工作。本文给出的结果有助于发现若干问题并启动纠正措施。此外，这些结果还表明古巴核医学领域建立质量体系的必要性。
