Technetium-99m, a critical nuclear imaging radioisotope, is in short supply and could cause delays or cancellations of over 40,000 medical imaging studies daily in the United States. The global ...

The technetium-99m market is expected to reach US$6.29 billion by 2031 from US$ 4.61 billion in 2024; it is anticipated to register a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period. Technetium-99m (Tc-99m) ...

The Periodic Table is a fascinating patchwork of our elemental framework… and we are often adding to it with short-lived elements of unpronounceable names… but what's the story with technetium? How ...

Scientists in Canada are the first to make commercial quantities of the medical isotope technetium-99m using medical cyclotrons. The material is currently made in just a few ageing nuclear reactors ...

Wilmington, Delaware, Transparency Market Research, Inc., Nov. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Technetium-99m market (Marché du technétium-99m) is experiencing significant growth due to its essential ...

The medical isotope technetium-99m (Tc-99m) could be made in hospitals rather than nuclear reactors. That is the conclusion of researchers in Canada, who have done theoretical modelling of how the ...

The key medical isotope technetium-99m can be produced directly in hospital cyclotrons, rather than by extracting the isotope from material made in nuclear reactors, a team of Canadian researchers ...

A radioisotope must have certain desirable qualities so that it can be used for the scan. Based on the above criteria, a radioisotope called as Technitium-99 (produced from Molybdenum) is used in over ...

In vivo tumor imaging with radiolabels is an important diagnostic tool in cancer treatments. Nonspecific compounds such as technetium-99m sulfur colloids 1 or technetium-99m Sestamibi 2,3 are ...

Word origin: The word technetium comes from the Greek technetos, artificial. Discovery: Technetium was the first element to be produced artificially. Element 43 was predicted on the basis of a gap in ...

The story of the last element to be discovered out of the first 92 catalogued in the periodic table is told by Eric Scerri, who reminds us that technetium can be found a little closer to home than ...

Technetium carbide does not exist -- it was pure technetium that was mistakenly considered as such, say physicists. This is important from the view point of chemistry of transition metal carbides ...
