Learning Objectives
- Mechanisms of how radiopharmaceutical extravasation affects the quality and quantification of nuclear medicine imaging studies.
- Potential effects of radiopharmaceutical extravasation on the interpretation of nuclear medicine studies or therapy and ensuring patient care.
- Primary factors (amount of and types of radiation emissions, biological clearance, and affected tissue volumes) that contribute to the absorbed dose in patient tissue and the process to characterize the absorbed dose from radiopharmaceutical extravasation.
