Technetium

Technetium was discovered by Carlo Perrier, Emilio Segre in 1937 at Italy. Origin of
name: from the Greek word "technikos" meaning "artificial".

Technetium is a silvery-grey metal that tarnishes slowly in moist air. Until 1960,
technetium was available only in small amounts. The chemistry of technetium is related to
that of rhenium.

this element is used around the world to save lives. It is injected into tens of millions of people every
year to diagnose difficult-to-detect cancers.

technetium-99m was mainly made at a plant at Chalk River, Ontario, Canada, Today other countries
like Holland, South Africa, and Argentina are also producing it.

Technetium Tc 99m disofenin injection is a radiopharmaceutical.

Radiopharmaceuticals are radioactive agents, which may be used to find and treat certain diseases
or to study the function of the body's organs.
Technetium Tc 99m disofenin injection is used to help your doctor see an image of your liver,
gallbladder, and bile duct to see how well they are working.
This medicine is to be given only by or under the direct supervision of a doctor with specialized
training in nuclear medicine.
