A survey of the extent of diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine procedures in the UK has been conducted, and information collected on the types of imaging equipment employed and the typical activities of radiopharmaceuticals administered to patients. A total of 380,000 administrations took place in 1982, corresponding to approximately 6.8 per thousand head of population. 84% were imaging investigations, 13% were non-imaging diagnostic procedures and about 3% were for therapy. Bone scans accounted for 25% of all procedures and 99Tcm was the radionuclide of choice for 75% of investigations. Gamma cameras are superseding rectilinear scanners and most are being purchased together with dedicated image processing computers. Their average annual workload is 922 patients per year. There was considerable variation between the typical administered activities reported by different hospitals for the same procedure, and in some cases the figures reported exceeded the maximum usual activities recommended by the Administration of Radioactive Substances Advisory Committee.
