Technetium-99m generators and radiopharmaceuticals and quality control tests. Technetium-99m labeled radiopharmaceuticals are currently the main diagnostic agents used in nuclear medicine. Radiopharmaceuticals are prepared locally through a reaction between a complexant agent (phar- maceutical) and technetium-99m. These reactions may generate impurities resulting into the production of radiopharmaceuticals with substandard quality or with different characteristics from those considered ideal. In this
