Re: Tc-99m usage

[R Gerber <rgerber@postino.up.ac.za>]

I would like to know if any of the recipients have the same or a similar procedure
and can furnish me with information.

A 150 mCi of Tc-99m is administered to a horse at our veterinary faculty. It is
then left for three hours before the animal is evaluated using a gamma camera.
These evaluation can take up to three hours.

Can anybody please tell me what safety precautions should be taken.

Please reply to rgerber@postino.up.ac.za
