  • RADIOISOTOPE GENERATOR SYSTEM INCLUDING ACTIVITY MEASUREMENT AND DOSE CALIBRATION
    Publication number: 20140374615
    Abstract: Methods for setting up, maintaining and operating a radiopharmaceutical infusion system, that includes a radioisotope generator, are facilitated by a computer of the system. The computer includes pre-programmed instructions and a computer interface, for interaction with a user of the system, for example, in order to track contained volumes of eluant and/or eluate, and/or to track time from completion of an elution performed by the system, and/or to calculate one or more system and/or injection parameters for quality control, and/or to perform purges of the system, and/or to facilitate diagnostic imaging.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 8, 2014
