ABSTRACT:
A radiation shield assembly (30) for a radioactive stent (11) which includes a first shield member (31) having a first mating surface (32) and a second shield member (33) having an opposed second mating surface (35). When the two shield members are removably coupled to one another, the first mating surface (32) cooperates with the opposing second mating surface (35) to substantially radially enclose the stent (11) therebetween, and substantially prevent the direct passage of radioisotopes emitted from the stent radially out of the shield assembly (30).
