Abstract

Carrier-free99mTcO4 eluated from clinical99Mo/99mTc generators was examined to determine its specific activity. The observed specific activity was found to be always lower than the calculated value based on the99Mo−99mTc−99Tc decay scheme data. These results could be explained in terms of existence of excess Tc loaded onto generator column.
