Abstract
Technetium-99m has favourable physical radiation characteristics (halflife = 6.02 h, nearly pure gamma radiation of 140 keV energy) and is distributed as Mo-99/Tc-99m generators to most nuclear medicine departments or radiopharmacy units. Though its radiation is simple, its chemistry is complicated and induces numerous pharmaceutical problems.
