An <em>extravasation&nbsp;</em>generally means the unintentional presence of a radioactive drug in the tissue surrounding the blood vessel following an injection.</p><p>Under the&nbsp;NRC’s current regulations, health care providers licensed by the NRC to use radioactive materials must submit a report to the NRC for any instance, known as a medical event, where the administered dose of a radioactive drug exceeds specified quantities or criteria.&nbsp;</p><p>In 2024, the&nbsp;NRC published a draft proposed rule that would add an extravasation as a medical event that must be reported. The draft proposed rule’s reporting threshold is based on a physician’s determination that the administration results or may potentially result in a radiation injury from an extravasation. The reporting threshold proposed by the&nbsp;NRC does not contain a quantified dose.</p><p>The bill requires the&nbsp;NRC to revise its regulations to add an extravasation as a medical event that must be reported, and it additionally requires the reporting threshold to be based on quantified doses (as specified in the bill). </p>","updateDate":"2026-01-06T23:32:07Z"},"markets":[],"stateBills":[],"meta":{"sources":["congress.gov"],"latencyMs":4685,"ts":"2026-04-17T13:44:47.201Z"},"nextActions":{"inspect":[],"related":[{"description":"Search related legislation","method":"GET","url":"/api/public/query-gov?q=Nuclear%20Medicine%20Clarification%20Act%20of%202025"}]}}
