AB  - The recommendation for the duration of breastfeeding interruption after radiopharmaceutical administration has not been standardized and varies among the guidance documents and publications in the literature. Methods: A working group consisting of 3 staff physicians, 2 fellows, and 2 technologists was designated to update the institutional recommendations on breastfeeding interruption based on the review of the guidance documents and the literature. Results: Our institutional recommendations on the duration of breastfeeding interruption for 54 radiopharmaceuticals are presented in 4 summary tables. For completeness, we also include other radiopharmaceuticals with available information. Conclusion: The detailed recommendation summary on breastfeeding might be helpful to other centers.
