Long-distance transport of radionuclides between PET cyclotron and PET radiochemistry

Appl Radiat Isot. 1999 Dec;51(6):625-30. doi: 10.1016/s0969-8043(99)00104-9.

Abstract

At the Rossendorf PET Centre the PET cyclotron and the radiochemical laboratories are 500 m away from each other. The distance is bridged by a radionuclide transport system (RATS) whose details such as layout, technical parameters, control system and radiation protection are described along with our experience in long-distance transport of radionuclides.
