Technetium-99m
Technetium-99m is a metastable nuclear isomer of technetium-99, symbolized as Tc. The "m" indicates that this is a metastable nuclear isomer, i.e. , that its half-life of 6 hours is considerably longer (by 14 orders of magnitude, at least) than most nuclear isomers that undergo gamma decay. The life-time of technetium-99m is very long in terms of average gamma-decay half-lives, though short in comparison with half-lives for other kinds of radioactive decay, and in comparison with radionuclides used in many kinds of nuclear medicine tests. Technetium-99m is used as a radioactive tracer that medical equipment can detect in the body...
