Shine Technologies applications

One of the principal uses of medical isotopes is for diagnostic imaging procedures in the human body. Radioactive isotopes such as technetium-99m (Tc-99m), a daughter isotope of Mo-99, are light-producing elements used in nuclear medicine imaging. When introduced into the patient’s body for medical diagnostic procedures, these radioisotopes help doctors examine how their patients’ various tissues and internal organs are functioning. Some examples of diagnostic nuclear medicine include imaging coronary blood flow to diagnose deep vein thrombosis, coronary artery disease, or other cardiovascular disease.
