Nuclear Reactor
I-131, Xenon 133, Thallium 201, Mo 9EIGHT8
Generator
T99.
Mo99/Tc99m generation
reduced by stannous ions. 7+
RadioNUCLIDE purity
Mo in Tc99. No more than .15 MICRO ci in Al at time of administration. Via Dose Calibrator
CHEMICAL purity
Al in Tc99. Need <10MICROgrams per mL on pH paper (colorimetry). Lungs on liver/spleen scan and Liver activity on Tc scan.
RadioCHEMICAL purity
Free tec. 95% for Tc04. 92% sulfur colloid and 91% for all others. Thin layer chromotographyu
Effective half life
1/effective = 1/physical + 1/biologic. effect always less. physical is memorized. biologic is piss or shit out
Isotope
Isotone
Isobar
Isomer
Same protons
Same neutrons
Same mass numbere. (barbell put on mass)
Same p&n but diff energy
Consistency Dose Calibrator
Daily. W/in 5% computed activity. Dose calibrator used to meausre radiopharmaceuticals
Linearity
Quarterly. Accurate readout for activities over whole range of potenial activities. Large amount of Tc99 like 200mCi and watching til down to diagnostic dosage
Accuracy
Annually.
Geometry
On installation and movement
Major spill
> 100 Tc99 and Tl-201
