ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how a new automated system for preparing and giving radiopharmaceuticals—substances used in nuclear medicine—can improve the safety of radiographers who work with these materials. Radiographers are healthcare professionals who help patients during imaging tests that use radiation. The goal is to find out if using this automated system can reduce the radiation exposure these workers face, making their jobs safer.

To participate in this study, you need to be a nuclear medicine radiographer with experience in manually preparing and administering these substances. You also need to be able to give written consent to take part. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, so it’s still in the planning stages. If you qualify and decide to join, you can expect to help gather important information that could lead to safer practices in nuclear medicine. This research will benefit not only the radiographers but also improve patient care by ensuring safer working conditions.
