Background: Hot lab is a specially designed room in a nuclear medicine hospital where the radiopharmaceuticals are delivered, stored and prepared for dispensing. 99Mo/99mTc-generator is the major source in the hot lab used for various medical imaging. It is important to maintain a standard for hot lab procedures to optimize the patient care and minimize radiation exposure to all nuclear medicin...

in this research, a new technetium-99m generator has been developed with addition of cerium oxide to alumina column.  the adsorption behaviors of 99mo in the form of molybdate and 99mtc in the form of pertechnetate on ceo2/al2o3 was investigated and showed that the adsorption capacity of molybdate on this generator is higher than usual generator using al2o3. ceric ions were selected as an addit...

Abstract ENEA is developing an accelerator-driven 14 MeV neutron source exploiting the deuterium–tritium fusion reaction to produce 99 Mo medical radioisotope as alternative production route not based on fission reactors. It expected that, during normal operation, a number of radionuclides, generated by means irradiation raw material (natural Molybdenum), will be produced and managed. The prese...
