The research and manufacture of radiopharmaceuticals in China were begun in 1961. Following that year

the control cause of radiopharmaceuticals was also begun. Through the endeavour of more than thirty years

the quality standards of radiopharmaceuticals suitable for our country were formed

the level of quality standard gradually elevated and the drug quality assured reliably. Under the leadership of the Ministry of Public Health

a quality assurance system for radiopharmaceuticals was strengthened and perfected. This system consisted of control agencies of radiopharmaceutical which was authorized by the Ministry of Public Health and of testing departments of manufacturing units. The development of the control cause of radiopharmaceutical has strongly promoted the advances of both radiopharmaceuticals and nuclear medicine.
