Diversification in the Supply Chain of (99)Mo Ensures a Future for (99m)Tc.
The uncertain availability of (99m)Tc has become a concern for nuclear medicine departments across the globe. An issue for the United States is that currently it is dependent on a supply of (99m)Tc (from (99)Mo) that is derived solely by production outside the United States. Since the United States uses half the world's (99)Mo production, the U.S. (99)Mo supply chain would be greatly enhanced i...
متن کاملFeasibility studies towards future self-sufficient supply of the 99Mo-99mTc isotopes with Japanese accelerators
In order to establish a self-sufficient supply of (99m)Tc, we studied feasibilities to produce its parent nucleus, (99)Mo, using Japanese accelerators. The daughter nucleus, (99m)Tc, is indispensable for medical diagnosis. (99)Mo has so far been imported from abroad, which is separated from fission products generated in nuclear reactors using enriched (235)U fuel. We investigated (99m)Tc produc...

متن کاملDetermination of 99Mo contamination in 99mTc elute obtained from 99Mo / 99mTc- generator
Background: 99mTc is a widely used radioisotope in nuclear medicine centers which is obtained by elution from Mo-99/Tc-99m generators. Usually the generators are either supplied by the Iran Atomic Energy Agency or by private companies from foreign countries. In this study we have measured 99Mo contamination in 99mTc elute from different generators in a period of one year. Materials and...
