The invention, in one characterization, may be said to be directed to a radiopharmaceutical system that may be utilized in radioisotope elution procedures. In some embodiments, the system may include a radioisotope generator assembly having a radiation shield with a receptacle and a cover disposed over the receptacle. The system may also include a radioisotope generator disposed in the receptacle below the cover. Some embodiments of the system may include an eluate extraction mechanism having an eluate conduit fluidly coupled to a hollow output needle of the radioisotope generator, and a radiation shielded housing disposed outside the radiation shield. The eluate extraction mechanism also may include a hollow needle fluidly coupled to the eluate conduit opposite the radioisotope generator, wherein the hollow needle is disposed inside the radiation shielded housing. |
