The RSO said the source is used in a BQC Styrofoam pillow for tuning a positron emission tomography (PET) camera. The RSO said an installer for their new PET camera, out of Houston, Texas, used the Ge-68 source with a Styrofoam pillow to tune the new PET and left the source and pillow in their hot lab. The pillow is approximately two feet long and crescent shaped.</br>The RSO said nobody associated with the hot lab saw the BQC pillow, the source, or the box it supposedly came in.

Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.
