The most important radioisotope for use in Nuclear Medicine is (99m)Tc, supplied in the form of a (99)Mo/(99m)Tc generator. After the supply crisis of (99)Mo starting in 2008 the availability of (99)Mo became a worldwide concern. The purpose of this work is to do a brief story of the availability of (99)Mo in the world followed by an overview of the production routes of (99)Mo and the generators technology.
核医学中使用的最重要的放射性同位素是(99m)锝,它以(99)钼/(99m)锝发生器的形式供应。自2008年开始出现(99)钼供应危机以来,(99)钼的可得性成为全球关注的问题。这项工作的目的是简要讲述全球(99)钼的可得情况,随后概述(99)钼的生产路线及发生器技术。
