Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure is directed to a detection assembly for detecting radiation emitted by radionuclides present within an animal. The detection assembly includes a housing having one or more walls defining a chamber. The detection assembly also includes a cover removably positioned over the top end of the housing, with the cover being configured for receipt of the animal. Furthermore, the detection assembly includes a radiation sensor positioned within the chamber. The radiation sensor is configured to detect the radiation emitted by the radionuclides present within the animal. Additionally, the detection assembly includes a shield positioned around a first portion of the radiation sensor, with the shield being configured to at least partially shield the radiation sensor from environmental radiation. A second portion of the radiation sensor is unshielded to permit the radiation sensor to receive radiation emitted by the radionuclides present within the animal.
