Zusammenfassung:	At Banner M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Arizona, we have gained valuable knowledge of the different infusion methods for Lu-DOTATATE peptide receptor radionuclide therapy. Our nuclear medicine department has used 2 different methods of administration: the gravity infusion method and the infusion pump protocol. 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. The pump protocol ensures that the infusion of Lu-DOTATATE is safe and delivers a consistent dose to every patient.
