Giannone] A teaching and supportive programme on quality control (QC) has been going on since 1980 in Argentina. Only 11% of the laboratories had their own QC programme at the beginning; implementation of QC programmes in the other laboratories was necessary. In 1988 a programme on QC in nuclear medicine (NM) to make the staff aware that QC is necessary had been carried out in 82% of the laboratories. After a first round, only 20% of the laboratories had implemented QC programmes. After multistage visits, 66% applied the programme successfully. This demonstrated the need for a teaching physicist. External QC was also carried out performing unknown-sample surveys. Ranking the NM units in three categories according to phantom lesion detectability, only 20% were considered acceptable, 47% unacceptable, while the rest needed further maintenance and QC. A legal support is necessary to urge the NM staff to perform QC.
