AB  - Nuclear medicine laboratories need competent staffs to perform quality nuclear medicine procedures. The very best laboratory facilities and quality control procedures are of little value unless personnel can utilize them correctly. While the subject of credentialing is controversial, it is generally accepted that credentialed technologists perform in a safer and more competent manner than those without credentials. This is a status report to the nuclear medicine technologist on credentialing efforts of various interested, and sometimes competing, groups.
