RADIONUCLIDE GENERATORS AND EQUILIBRIUM
After
studying this tutorial and taking the test, one should be able to describe the
two different types of equilibrium and explain the relationship between
radionuclide generators and equilibrium; should be able to give examples of each
type of generator and explain the principles of separation of daughter from
parent; should be able to define the term “generator” and to list the
properties of the ideal generator system; should be able to identify the parts
of the Mo-99/Tc-99m generator and explain the elution process; and should be
able to identify the two clinically useful generators sold in the US;
1. Definition
of Parent-Daughter Equilibrium
3. Properties
of the Ideal Generator System
4. Design
of a Mo/Tc Generator Column
5. Principles
of Operation of a Radionuclide Generator
6. Clinically
Useful Radionuclide Generators
