I had a bone scan when I was a kid for a tumor I had in my leg (it ended up being a benign bone cyst, thank goodness!). They used a Technetium 99m injection as a contrast. They had it in a lead covered syringe when they injected into my arm. It's pretty cool knowing I've had such a rare element in my body before. :)

Just a note, the organic molecule binded with the 99mTc in the radiopharmaceutical doesn't bind to only cancer cells. The radiopharmaceutical concentrates in certain tissues, and since cancer cells have a higher metabolism than healthy cells, it concentrates even more in cancer cells, and that is what gives a suspected diagnosis of cancer. As you can see the in video, the darker regions in the scintigram is where there is a higher concentration of the radiopharmaceutical, but everything that is dark represents activity from the radiopharmaceutical.

I had a bone scan last year with Technetium. After the technetium was administered intravenously I had to sit in the hospital cafeteria for a couple of hours. I was told not to sit near any children or pregnant women. After the scan I tried to exit the car park but the parking ticket card malfunctioned and could not be read by the scanner. Could be coincidence, but perhaps I was 'hot' enough to corrupt the magnetic strip?

That depends which isotope of uranium you start with: U235 + neutron in reactors, versus U238 spontaneous fission over very long lifetimes. The exact branching pathway is too complex to describe as part of a short video covering a much broader topic. Decay usually refers to losing one (or a few protons or neutrons) at a time, while fission means splitting into two relatively equal nuclei.
@NuclearSavety
7 жыл бұрын
Well fission is usually an about 1/3rd to 2/3rd split plus some free neutrons... Radioactive decay is usually labeles processes where a core emmits helium-cores (alpha decay), electrons+neutrons+gamma possibly also with antiparticles (beta decay), or a pure gamma decay when an excited core relaxes. With radiactive decay starting from uranium you end up at lead, you dont reach technecium. .

Are there actual agents that bind Tc and specifically bind to tumor targets as the professor implied? As far as I know, Tc is bound to glucose and is transported to regions with high levels of cellular activity, inluding but not limited to tumors. Which is why only fast-growing tumors could be diagnosed with Tc, but not slow-growing ones.

I always enjoy these videos however I came here for the express purpose of discovering why Technetium is a low atomic number island of radioactivity in the periodic table, but was surprised when that point wasn't raised. Did I miss it?

Thanks Professor. I am a med student and my next exam is nuclear medicine! I guess I will use what I learned here to introduce my examination :)
