Production of Technetium 99m

The key aspects of producing technetium-99m in a hospital for radionuclide imaging - including the structure and use of a technetium generator. Technetium-99m is a very widely used gamma tracer hence its production is a key part of the work of radiology departments. Production of technetium tracers is a key concept in radiography, radiology, medical physics and is very helpful in medicine in general.
