Abstract(s)
Despite the global crisis concerning 99mTc delivering to Nuclear Medicine Departments there isn’t yet a reliable solution. The cyclotron direct production of 99mTc, using the 100Mo(p,2n)99mTc nuclear reaction is our attempt to approach the problem, aiming to become efficient, reliable and sustainable from points of view as reducing drastically the radioactive waste being produced and becoming beneficial for all the involved parts. Between several critical factors, radionuclidic purity of cyclotron-produced 99mTc is being pointed as an issue of concern.
