Fast electrons accelerate the production of medical isotopes

Physics World

Technetium-99m ( 99m Tc) is a metastable radionuclide that emits gamma radiation which can be detected in the body by a medical gamma camera. The company then realized that, in contrast with present electron accelerators, its technology could be scaled to meet the specifications needed for large-scale radioisotope production.
