Unit dose syringe shield and measuring applicator

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

• a) 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 a hypodermic syringe;
• b) a second body with a second hollow core that is open on a first edge of said second body, said second hollow core for housing said hypodermic syringe;
• c) a third body with a third hollow core that is open on a first edge of said third body, said third hollow core for housing said hypodermic syringe;
• d) said hypodermic syringe capable of containing a radiopharmaceutical;
• e) a first connection means wherein said first body releasably communicates with said second body for providing protection from radioactivity emitted by the radiopharmaceutical;
• f) a second connection means wherein said first body releasably communicates with said third body for providing protection from said radioactivity;
• g) said third body further comprising means for extending said hypodermic syringe from said first and third bodies to permit measurement of said. radiopharmaceutical in said hypodermic syringe and providing protection from said radioactivity;
• and
• h) said second body further comprising means for compressing said hypodermic syringe to eject said radiopharmaceutical from the hypodermic syringe while said first body is in communication with said second body.
