Abstract: Certain configurations are described of devices that can receive and retain a radiation measuring device during administration of a nuclear medication. In some instances, the radiation measuring device can measure radiation levels being delivered through an intravenous line positioned within the device and connected to a patient. Methods and systems using the devices are also described.
Abstract: Certain configurations of devices and systems that can administer a nuclear medication in an automated manner are described. In some instances, the system can receive a nuclear medication in a shielded transport container and administer the nuclear medication to a patient through an intravenous line in an automated manner to minimize radiation exposure by staff. Methods of using the devices and systems are also described.
Abstract: Certain configurations of an infusion device are described. In some examples, the infusion device may comprise an enclosure that can absorb radiation from a radioisotope material within the enclosure.
