The present invention, in some embodiments, relates to radiation-shielding containers for housing radioactive materials. For example, some container assemblies of the invention include a body and a lid both including radiopaque material, and together defining a receiving space for radioactive material. Each of the body and lid has a closure surface that is in close proximity with the closure surface of the other when the container assembly is in a closed condition. The closure surfaces of these container assemblies may be configured such that they run substantially entirely at an angle to a local direction of radiation emanating from the radioactive material. In other words, these closure surfaces may be oriented such that they are misaligned with radiation emanating from within the container assembly. The present invention, in some embodiments, relates to devices for administration of radioactive material (e.g., radiopharmaceutical capsule) to patients.

La présente invention, dans certains modes de réalisation, concerne des conteneurs de protection contre les radiations pour loger des matériaux radioactifs. Par exemple, certains ensembles conteneurs de l~invention comprennent un corps et un couvercle englobant tous deux un matériau radiopaque, et définissant ensemble un espace de réception pour matériau radioactif. Chacun du corps et du couvercle possède une surface de fermeture au proche voisinage de la surface de fermeture de l~autre lorsque l~ensemble conteneur est en condition fermée. Les surfaces de fermeture de ces ensembles conteneurs peuvent être configurées pour décrire presque entièrement un angle dans une direction locale d~une radiation émanant du matériau radioactif. En d~autres termes, ces surfaces de fermeture peuvent être orientées pour ne pas être alignées avec la radiation émanant de l~intérieur de l~ensemble conteneur. La présente invention, dans certains modes de réalisation, concerne des dispositifs d~administration de matériau radioactif (par exemple capsule radiopharmaceutique) à des patients.
