Abstract
The present technology relates to systems and methods for filling capsules with radioactive material. In some embodiments, the present technology includes a capsule filling system that can transfer a dose of a radioactive solution (e.g., iodine-131 or another radioisotope) from a source container to one or more capsules prepared for medical or other use. The capsule filling system can be remotely operated and is thus expected to reduce exposure of a user to radioactive materials during the capsule filling process. Furthermore, the capsule filling system may be partially or fully automated, which is further contemplated to reduce user exposure to radioactive materials and / or to increase the efficiency of preparing capsules.
