Could this system be adapted to generate other isotopes, like Bismuth-213 and other Alpha Particles used in radiopharmaceuticals?

[@shuhdshahi2705]

Perfect and enough

[@dr.paulinemoyaert]

Thank you, Shuhd! :)

Is there way of controlling the parent radioactivity ?

[@dr.paulinemoyaert]

No that I know of. 🙂

[@kaydenaqeefkhairulazreen7089]

What is other type of generator commonly used in nuclear medicine apart from this Tc generator?

[@dr.paulinemoyaert]

I'm sorry, I can't help you with this question. 🙁

[@kaydenaqeefkhairulazreen7089]

@@dr.paulinemoyaert its ok. I am wondering as well. Do u know the explanation how the aluminium prevent the Moly washout from the generator?

[@ellios5734]

the parent should be represented as woman tho

[@dr.paulinemoyaert]

Haha, I agree 😎. I'll keep this in mind
