Journal Article · · Am. J. Hosp. Pharm.; (United States)
OSTI ID:7212878

The nuclear physics and chemical properties of technetium-99m are reviewed. The review of basic nuclear physics includes: classification of nuclides, nuclear stability, production of radionuclides, artificial production of molybdenum-99, production of technetium-99m and /sup 99/Mo-/sup 99m/Tc generators. The discussion of the chemistry of technetium includes a profile of several /sup 99m/Tc-labeled radiopharmaceuticals.
