Simplicity or complexity of the radiopharmaceutical production process in the light of optimization of radiation protection of staff – 99m Tc vs. 18 F

Background A radiopharmaceutical is a combination of a non-radioactive compound with a radioactive isotope. Two isotopes: technetium- 99m ( 99m Tc) and fluorine-18 ( 18 F) are worth mentioning on the rich list of isotopes which have found numerous medical applications. Their similarity is limited on...
