Radiopharmaceuticals are medications that are also radioactive and are used to perform these procedures. They are administered either intravenously or orally and the patients are then imaged in a gamma camera according to protocol. Due to the radioactive nature of these medications, strict adherence to Dept of Transportation regulations must be considered. The half-life of the radioactive component for radiopharmaceuticals is extremely short and therefore they have a shelf-life of six hours on average. Due to the short shelf-life, radiopharmaceuticals are delivered daily to Nuclear Medicine and are administered or discarded by the end of the day.
