Technetium-99m (99m Tc) is a ... In the use of technetium-99m, the radioisotope is administered to the patient and the escaping gamma rays are incident upon a moving ...
Technetium 99m Tc albumin aggregated (99m Tc-MAA) is an injectable radiopharmaceutical used in nuclear medicine. It consists of a sterile aqueous suspension of Technetium-99m (99m Tc) labeled to human albumin aggregate particles. It is commonly used for lung perfusion scanning.
The metastable technetium-99m (99m Tc) is a short-lived (half-life about 6 hours) nuclear isomer used in nuclear medicine, produced from molybdenum-99. It decays by isomeric transition to technetium-99, a desirable characteristic, since the very long half-life and type of decay of technetium-99 imposes little further radiation burden on the body.
Technetium (99m Tc) pentetic acid, sold under the brand name Draximage DTPA among others, is a radiopharmaceutical medication used in nuclear medicine to image the brain, kidneys, or lungs. [1] It is given by intravenous injection or via aerosol spray. [ 1 ]
Lymphoseek ® (technetium Tc 99m tilmanocept) Injection is a novel, receptor-targeted, small-molecule radiopharmaceutical used in lymphatic mapping procedures that are performed to help stage ...
Technetium (99m Tc) tetrofosmin is a drug used in nuclear medicine cardiac imaging.It is sold under the brand name Myoview (GE Healthcare).The radioisotope, technetium-99m, is chelated by two 1,2-bis[di-(2-ethoxyethyl)phosphino]ethane ligands which belong to the group of diphosphines and which are referred to as tetrofosmin.
Technetium (99m Tc) sestamibi is a lipophilic cation which, when injected intravenously into a patient, distributes in the myocardium proportionally to the myocardial blood flow. Single photon emission computed tomography imaging of the heart is performed using a gamma camera to detect the gamma rays emitted by the technetium-99m as it decays.
Technetium-99m is a gamma emitter. It is obtained on-site at the imaging center as the soluble pertechnetate which is eluted from a technetium-99m generator, and then either used directly as this soluble salt, or else used to synthesize a number of technetium-99m-based radiopharmaceuticals.
