Calculation of the activities of the father-son pair of a 99Mo/99mTc generator - Dorra Ben Sellem

Nuclear medicine is a medical speciality based on the administration of radiopharmaceuticals to patients. Radiopharmaceuticals are composed of a cold molecule, specific to an organ or function, and a radionuclide. The isotope most commonly used in imaging is 99mTc, thanks to its physical properties (pure gamma emission, physical half-life of six hours and energy of 140 keV), its chemical properties (coupling with numerous cold molecules) and its availability. It is produced by a 99Mo/99mTc generator,..
