Brief Summary
This project aims to evaluate the impact of the introduction of an automated system for radiopharmaceutical preparation and administration on the radiation safety of the radiographers working in nuclear medicine. This study will help to fill the existing gap in the scientific literature and provide useful guidance for the selection of the safest and most effective automated infusion system.
