Methods: Our nuclear medicine department has used 2 different methods of administration: the gravity infusion method and the infusion pump protocol. Results: Our experience with the gravity infusion method allowed us to identify problematic aspects and led us to search for and implement the infusion pump protocol. Conclusion: The pump protocol ensures that the infusion of 177Lu-DOTATATE is safe and delivers a consistent dose to every patient.}, issn = {0091-4916}, URL = {https://tech.snmjournals.org/content/47/4/288}, eprint = {https://tech.snmjournals.org/content/47/4/288.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology} }
