Abstract

A nuclear medicine infusion system () may be used to generate and infuse radioactive liquid into a patient undergoing a diagnostic imaging procedure. In some examples, the infusion system includes a frame () that carries a radioisotope generator () that generates radioactive eluate via elution. The frame may also carry a beta detector () and a gamma detector (). The beta detector can be positioned to measure beta emissions emitted from the radioactive eluate supplied by the generator. The gamma detector can be positioned to measure gamma emissions emitted from a portion of the radioactive eluate to evaluate a safety of the radioactive eluate delivered by the infusion system.
