Abstract
A radiopharmaceutical containment or pig, in certain embodiments, may include a plurality of cavities or chambers to accommodate a syringe and other medical devices. For example, a syringe may be housed in a first chamber of the radiopharmaceutical containment, and a tube coupled to the syringe may be housed in a second chamber and extractable via a passage in the radiopharmaceutical containment. In some embodiments, a user may extract a radiopharmaceutical from the radiopharmaceutical containment without having to remove the syringe from the containment. The radiopharmaceutical containment may include radiation shielding, an aperture to enable a ram of a power injector to engage or interact with a syringe inside the containment, a movable shutter over the aperture, various labels, and/or an integral storage compartment.

65. A method for delivering a fluid, comprising:
-
transporting a shielded containment in a closed configuration, wherein a syringe is disposed within said containment and comprises a syringe plunger and a radiological fluid. installing said shielded containment on a power injector after said transporting step, wherein said power injector comprises a syringe plunger driver; advancing said syringe plunger driver; interacting said syringe plunger driver with said syringe plunger using said advancing step; moving said syringe plunger after said interacting step and using said syringe plunger driver; and discharging said radiological fluid from said shielded containment using said moving step. - View Dependent Claims (66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 76)

80. A fluid delivery system, comprising:
a containment comprising; a body comprising an access aperture; a shutter movable relative to said body between first and second shutter positions, wherein said shutter blocks said access aperture when in said first shutter position, and wherein said shutter exposes said access aperture to an interior of said body when in said second shutter position; a first chamber disposed within said body in alignment with said access aperture; and first shielding associated with said first chamber.
-
81. A fluid delivery system, comprising:
a containment comprising; a body; a first chamber disposed within said body; first shielding associated with said first chamber; and a first storage compartment within said body and isolated from said first chamber.
