Frequently asked questions

Technegas is an ultra-fine suspension of carbon nano-particles labelled with technetium (Tc-99m). It is used in lung imaging to map the functioning airways distribution.

The TechnegasPlus Generator uses a combination of graphite and an Argon atmosphere to reduce and then vaporise Technetium Generator eluant (sodium pertechnetate) in a chamber. It does this by first drying the eluant to remove the water from the saline carrier solution, then raising the graphite Pulmotec CrucibleTM to an ideal temperature of 2750 °C for a period between 3 and 15 seconds to produce the Technegas particles.

The recommended dose to the patient must be set by your Nuclear Medicine Department. Please consult your Department Director and/or Radiation Safety Officer.
