Systems, apparatus and methods by which a dispensing station (106) delivers a large quantity of a radioactive marker (104) to one or more imaging stations (114) for positron emission tomography. A quality management unit (110) checks the quality of the radioactive marker (104). The elements of the system are coupled by a corporate LAN (148). Each imaging station (114) for positron emission tomography comprises an injection system (122 or 124), a physiological monitoring device (134 or 136), and a tomograph (138 or 140). All devices can be controlled by a computer system. |
