QUANUM stands for quality management audit in Nuclear Medicine practices. This is a means by which nuclear medicine facilities can demonstrate the level of patient care they provide. It can be done by doing a selfevaluation that is internal audit and by external evaluation. The quality management (QM) program is vital for better patient care and an essential tool in the modern health system (1). Nuclear Medicine Services (NMS) are expected to maintain quality management system (QMS) to provide high quality patient care. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been providing technical and professional support in NMS to its member states for long time. Expert group of IAEA including nuclear medicine physicians, medical physicists, radiopharmacists and technologists have taken decision to develop QM audit tool on 2006. Recently IAEA has published a manual “Quality Management Audit in Nuclear Medicine Practices (QUANAM)” (2, 3). IAEA has inspired to implement QUANAM in NMS in its member states especially in developing countries by overcoming economic constraints and busy schedule of professionals to upgrade themselves. Actually this excellent methodology tool helps to identify the opportunities for improvement. The objective of this review article is to discuss the need of QMS in NMS, formation, different aspects and scope of QUANAM. Its possible implementation in Nuclear Medicine Departments of developing country like Bangladesh in accordance of QUANAM manual will be discussed. We also intend to describe shortly the initiation story of QUANUM at National Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences (NINMAS). QUANUM
