Nuclear medicine and PET departments are required by their radioactive material license to commit to a substantial list of activities, including camera quality control, survey meter calibrations, proper radioactive material handling, and many more. UMP has performed hundreds of on-site assessments to help clients ensure all regulatory commitments are being met. Our assessors have direct experience as Nuclear Medicine Technologists and state inspectors.

Q&A
How often should Nuclear Medicine/PET Compliance Assessments be done?
Some clients prefer annual or semi-annual compliance assessments, but most are on a quarterly schedule, which can provide direct input for quarterly Radiation Safety Committee meetings.
