Provided are 82Sr/82Rb elution systems that accept patient weight as a input function in order to determine an optimal quantity of radioactive rubidium-82 for delivery to a patient pursuant to an imaging scan. Also disclosed are systems that deliver a saline flush to remove residual 82Rb from the system downstream of the generator, and preferably deliver the removed residual 82Rb to the patient. Other disclosed systems measure the total volume of saline that flows through a 82Sr/82Rb generator, a total volume of saline that flows through the generator and through a bypass line, or a total volume of saline received by a waste reservoir, in order to monitor system components so that optimal system functioning is assured.
