Dose calibrator is one of the supporting equipments in the field of nuclear medicine. At the hospitals, dose calibrator is used for activity measurement of radiopharmaceutical before it is administered to patients. Comparison of activity measurements of (131)I and (99m)Tc with dose calibrators was organized in Indonesia during 2007-2010 with the the aim of obtaining information dose calibrator performance in the hospitals. Seven Indonesian hospitals participated in this comparison. The measurement results were evaluated using the E(n) criteria. The result presented in this paper facilitated the evaluation of dose calibrator performance at several hospitals.
