An integrated radiopharmaceutical patient treatment system includes a portable radioisotope generation module configured to generate a gaseous radioisotope, a radiopharmaceutical processing module configured to dissolve the radioisotope in an injectable medical fluid, a fluid injection system in fluid communication with the radiopharmaceutical processing module and configured to inject a dose including the radioisotope and the injectable medical fluid into a patient, and at least two imaging devices configured to independently detect biological and physiological characteristics of the patient based on the dose. The radiopharmaceutical processing module may be in fluid communication with the radioisotope generation module.

The present invention relates to assemblies and method for obtaining a container comprising 212Pb on the walls obtained from a 212Pb precursor isotope source. The invention provides an improved system and method for producing 212Pb in high purity without the need for processing, with high yields, and which safely and efficiently can be transported to the locations where it is to be used.

A process for cleaning reusable canisters known as pigs which contain radioactive drugs and may contain residual radioactive material and other contaminants. Those pigs that are contaminated with radio-active material are removed from the cleaning process until they have decayed to the background radiation level, cleaned and disinfected. Within a very clean drug preparation area a radioactive drug is inserted into the pig and the pig is placed in a protective outer container. At a treatment site the outer container and pig are delivered to a clean treatment area where the pig is removed from the outer container and the drug is removed from the pig and utilized.
