Abstract
Systems and methods for tracking and management of a distributed ledger including information for a batch of radiopharmaceutical material are disclosed. Certain examples provide a computer-implemented method of managing radiopharmaceutical material including tracking, using at least one processor, a status of a batch of radiopharmaceutical material, the status to include a type, a quantity, and a timestamp associated with the batch of radiopharmaceutical material; generating a record in a first copy of a distributed ledger using the type, quantity, and timestamp associated with the batch of radiopharmaceutical material; updating the record based on at least one of usage of the batch of radiopharmaceutical material, resale of at least a portion of the batch of radiopharmaceutical material, and decay of the batch of radiopharmaceutical material; and sharing the record with a second copy of the distributed ledger.
