For unit dose syringe shield and measuring applicator

An apparatus that acts as a shield for radiopharmaceuticals and protects individuals from radioactivity comprising:

• a first body with a first hollow core that is open on a first edge and a second edge of said first body, said first hollow core for housing an insert;
• a second body with a second hollow core that is open on a first edge and closed on a second edge of said second body, said second hollow core for housing said insert;
• a third body with a third hollow core that is open on a first edge of said third body, said third hollow core fixedly communicates with two hollow stems, said hollow stems are open on a second edge of said third body and said hollow stems are symmetrically positioned around the center of said second edge of said third body, said third hollow core for housing said insert;
• said insert housing a hypodermic syringe with a radiopharmaceutical;
• a first connection means wherein said first body releasably communicates with said second body for providing protection from radioactivity;
• a second connection means that said first body releasably communicates with said third body for providing protection from said radioactivity;
• a third connection means for said third body to releasably communicate with a dose applicator further comprising two telescoping rods for injecting and measuring said radiopharmaceutical in said hypodermic syringe and providing protection from said radioactivity;
• and
• said dose applicator for slideably positioning said insert, hypodermic syringe and radiopharmaceutical into and out of said first and third body when said second body is removed whereby said individuals easily measure, transport and inject said radiopharmaceutical in said hypodermic syringe.
