Radiopharmaceutical Transport Service
Time-critical radiopharmaceutical delivery for nuclear medicine departments and imaging centers. carGO Health provides radioactive material transport with the urgency that half-life physics demands—because a delayed radiopharmaceutical is a cancelled scan and a patient who has to come back another day. HIPAA-compliant couriers with real-time tracking. Our medical courier service for the most time-sensitive materials in healthcare.
Half-Life Logistics: Why Minutes Matter
Technetium-99m has a 6-hour half-life. FDG (F-18) has a 110-minute half-life. Every minute of delay reduces the diagnostic quality of the scan. Radiopharmaceutical transport is physics-constrained logistics—the courier window isn’t set by your schedule but by radioactive decay. STAT dispatch within minutes, 24/7 availability.
Radioactive Material Transport Compliance
DOT Radioactive Materials: Transport per 49 CFR 173 Subpart I. Proper labeling, packaging, and vehicle placarding. OSHA-compliant couriers.
NRC & State Requirements: Documentation supporting Nuclear Regulatory Commission and state radiation control program requirements.
Chain-of-Custody: Digital documentation with proof of delivery for every radioactive shipment.
