Answer all questions in this section.
0 1 A hospital uses the radioactive isotope technetium-99m as a tracer. Technetium-99m
is produced using a Molybdenum-Technetium generator on site at the hospital.
0 1 . 1 Explain why the value of the half-life of technetium-99m:
• makes it suitable for use as a tracer
• means that it must be produced in a generator on site.
[4 marks]
0 1 . 2 Technetium-99m emits only gamma rays.
Explain why this makes technetium-99m suitable for use as a tracer.
