Abstract
An automated radiopharmaceutical dispenser, that offers several advant ages over manual procedures, has been developed. It employs a personal computer interfaced to a precision syringe drive module, a dose calib rator, and a printer. The operating program provides menu-selection op eration and documentation of procedures and individual doses delivered . All materials in contact with the radiopharmaceutical are sterile an d disposable. A novel transport safe is employed to further reduce rad iation exposure. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
