It may be used to label polyphosphate (rarely used today), diphosphonate ((Handa J, Yamamoto I, Morita R, et al. 99mTc- Polyphosphate and 99mTc-Diphosphonate Bone Scintigraphy in Neurosurgical Practice. Surg Neurol. 1974; 2:307–310)). ---- Technetium-99m is a metastable nuclear isomer of technetium-99 (itself an isotope of technetium), symbolized as 99mTc, that is used in tens of millions of medical diagnostic procedures annually, making it the most commonly used medical [[radioisotope]]. technetium-99m.txt Last modified: 2024/06/07 02:58by 127.0.0.1
