Technetium-99m is a nuclear isomer of technetium-99. The “m” indicates that this is a metastable nuclear isomer. Tc-99m is used as a radiotracer detectable, in the body, by medical equipments. It is well suited to this application, since it emits readily detectable 140 keV gamma rays (about the same wavelength emitted by conventional X-ray diagnostic equipment), and its half-life for gamma emission is 6.0058 hours (meaning that 93.7% of it decays to 99Tc in 24 hours). This relatively short half-life (in terms of human-activity and metabolism) allows for scanning procedures which collect data rapidly, but keep total patient radiation exposure low.
\nDry column Mo-99\/Tc-99m generator is a closed system for the production of a sterile solution of 99mTc system. It is used for the production of solution pertechnetate Tc a pyrogenic sterile Sodium diagnostic reagent for in vivo use intravenous injection.
\nThe pertechnetate 99mTc Sodium is used in adults for:
\n\u2022 Exploring the Brain (including cerebral angiography radiopharmaceuticals).
\n\u2022 Exploration of the thyroid.
\n\u2022 Exploring the Salivary Glands.
\n\u2022 Cardiovascular Studies.
\n\u2022 Bed Vascular Studies (including angiography radionucie\u221a\u2260dos.
\n\u2022 Exploration of the bladder (Direct Isotope Citography) for the detection of bladder-ureteral reflux.
\n\u2022 Exploration of Drainage System Nasolaclimal (dacriocentellografia) etc.
\nThe pertechnetate 99mTc Sodium is used in children as an agent for:
\n\u2022 Brain scan (including cerebral angiography Radionuclide}.
\n\u2022 Thyroid scan.
\n\u2022 Bed Vascular studies (including radionuclide angiography).
\n\u2022 Exploration of the bladder (Isotope Citografia direct) for the detection of vesico-ureteral reflux.
