Radioisotope containers are used for the safe transportation of radiopharmaceuticals that contain radioactive isotopes. They are designed to protect patients and medical personnel from radiation and ensure safe transportation.
Radioisotope containers can contain various radionuclides, such as iodine-131, technetium-99m, fluorescent dyes and others. Depending on the type of radionuclide, the container may have different sizes and shapes.
In the manufacture of radioisotope containers, a special material is used that provides protection from radiation. The containers also have a locking system that prevents unauthorized access to the contents of the container.
Transportation of the radioisotope container must be carried out in accordance with safety requirements. This includes the use of special transport that can protect the container from external influences. In addition, transportation should only be carried out by qualified personnel who have the appropriate knowledge and skills.
Overall, radioisotope containers are an important tool for the safe transport of radioactive drugs. They provide radiation protection for patients and personnel and ensure safe transportation.
Radionuclides are products of nuclear reactions that emit electromagnetic and weak nuclear radiation. They are used in medicine and science to diagnose diseases and study various life processes.
Radioisotopes used for radiological examination of the body must be as small as possible so as not to cause harm to human health. Microradiation sources (MRS), which do not contain substances hazardous to health, are becoming increasingly widespread. For ease of use of such a radiation source, a radioisotope capsule is used. This capsule is made of a polymer material that transmits radiation evenly and is light in weight and dimensions. The MI is placed in a radioisotope capsule, which provides reliable protection from external influences.
Transport packaging (container) is intended for repeated loading and unloading, for long-term storage or transportation of packages with radioactive substances to the final destination in the radiation safety system. Depending on the conditions under which the drugs are transported, containers are made of metal (metal) or foam plastic (foam) and must ensure that there is no leakage of activity until unloading into the warehouse and subsequent use. At the customer's request, it is possible to design packaging with reinforcement elements, ventilation windows and/or easily removable lids.
