Abstract

Most nuclear medicine technologists have experienced the misplacing and/or the loss of a radioactive spot marker. We report on a simple solution to prevent or at least minimize the loss of radioactive spot markers.

One end of a metallic beaded chain was attached to the side of 57Co spot marker using repair putty. The other end of the beaded chain was attached to a lead shield that housed the radioactive source when not in use.

This design has allowed easy, unobstructed use of the 57Co spot marker for marking the right or left side and anatomical position during imaging while preventing its loss.

A radioactive spot marker that is attached to a lead shield by a beaded chain is a simple way to prevent its loss while allowing it to be used easily during imaging.
