The radioactive99mTcO−4anion is an importantradiopharmaceuticalfordiagnosticuse. The advantages to99mTcinclude its shorthalf-lifeof 6 hours and the low radiation exposure to the patient, which allow a patient to be injected with activities of more than 30 millicuries (1,100 MBq).Na[99mTcO4]is a precursor to a variety of derivatives that are used to image different parts of the body.
