Claim:
1. A system for measuring a radioactive concentration of a radiopharmaceutical, comprising: a container; an interrogation region associated with the container; a radiation detector to focus radiation emitted from the interrogation region; a signal capture device capable of obtaining a radiation measurement of the radiation emitted from the interrogation region; and a microprocessor system in data communication with the signal capture device; and an aperture system having at least one optical element disposed between the interrogation region and the radiation detector, wherein the microprocessor system is capable of calculating a radioactive concentration of a radiopharmaceutical contained in the interrogation region from the radiation measurement of the radiation emitted from the interrogation region obtained by the signal capture device, and wherein the aperture system controls a selection of the at least one optical element based on a concentration of the radiopharmaceutical or a type of a radioactive nuclide in the interrogation region.
