I Medically used material
Used for imaging the heart muscle, lungs, brain, and the skeletal sys-
tem. Other uses include imaging the kidney, liver, thyroid, spleen, gall
bladder, salivary and lacrimal glands, and the heart blood pool. It is
also used to investigate other medical issues, like certain types of in-
fections. Also used for tracing sewage and liquid waste movements
within city infrastructures. This nuclide is a ission product in nu-
clear reactors. It can occur in the radioactive fall-out resulting from
hazardous incidents in nuclear power plants.
