Ka-Agham, alam mo ba kung ano ang isang radiopharmaceutical? Ang DOST - Philippine Nuclear Research Institute ay nakagagawa ng Technetium-99m na isang radiopharmaceutical! Silipin natin sa Virtual Tour na ito ang Technetium-99m Generator Production Facility. Ngayong National Science and Technology Week, alamin natin ang marami pang aspeto ng nuclear medicine! Pag-usapan natin ang radiopharmaceuticals at marami pang iba sa nalalapit na forum sa November 26, 2021 kasama si Dr. Thomas Neil Pascual,

Nuclear Reactors and its role in NUCLEAR MEDICINE. . . . Role of Nuclear Reactor in Nuclear Medicine 1. Production of Radioisotopes •Nuclear reactors are the main source of many medical isotopes. •Inside a reactor, neutrons bombard target materials, converting them into radioactive isotopes. •Example: •Uranium fission → produces Molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) → which decays to Technetium-99m (Tc-99m). •Tc-99m is the workhorse isotope in nuclear medicine (used in ~80% of scans worldwide). 2.
