<p>An automated system and method are disclosed for use in assaying radiation emitted by radiotherapeutic products such as brachytherapy seeds. The system and method include an enclosure containing a SCARA robot that is selectively positionable at a plurality of work stations, a calibration seed holder, a vibratory feeder, a radiation detector and an array of storage vials. Pulses from the radiation detector are directed to a fast coincidence counter and CPU, which computes the radiation dosimetry and signals the robot to deposit the assayed product in a particular storage vial within the array.</p> |
