Tungsten PET shields

Positron emission tomography (PET) is one of the nuclear medicine techniques available for diagnosis. Whilst X-rays provide information on the structure of the body, tungsten PET shields show the chemical function of a particular organism. Tungsten PET shields involve the injection of FDG (a glucose-based radio nuclide) from a shielded syringe into the patient. As the FDG travels through the patient's body it emits gamma radiation, which is detected by a gamma camera, from which the chemical activity within cells and organs can be seen. Any abnormal chemical activity may be a sign that tumors are present. PET scans are frequently used to detect cancerous tumors and diseases of the brain and coronary arteries.

The solid tungsten PET shields dispensing system permits the safe dispensing of high- energy PET radiopharmaceuticals without the need for expensive remote handling systems .The magnetic "docking" feature of the solid tungsten syringe shield into the dispensing pig allows low exposure dose drawing .It is designed with 3.5 cm thick walls and accommodates up to a 30ml vial.

Tungsten PET shields dispensing pig provides a full 3.5 cm of solid tungsten to safely shield high energy PET radiopharmaceuticals. Designed to accommodate 30ml vials (adapters are available for smaller vials).The threaded lid attaches to the body of the pig so that no radiation "shine through" occurs .The tungsten stopper, with attached pull ring ,is held in place magnetically. The handle permits the pig to be easily carried as a transport container as well as a dispensing pig. Weight 43 lbs.

Tungsten PET shields magnetically docks with the PET Dispensing Pig .Designed to accept 3cc and 5cc B-D syringes ,it places the needle inside the vial septum when engaged .The body of the shield is constructed of solid tungsten 2.1cm thick for maximum shielding .The external calibration rod allows the precise volume to be withdrawn without a leaded glass viewing port ,where high exposure levels cannot be adequately shielded .The system allows the plunger to be pulled back with a pair of forceps ,allowing you to keep your exposure ALARA .Weight 5.8 lbs
