Mo-99 decays by emitting a beta particle (an electron). About 88 percent of the decays (red line) produce Tc-99m, which subsequently decays to the ground state, Tc-99g, by emitting a gamma ray.
This process is called isomeric transition. The daughter for this decay is 99Tc which is also radioactive but has a very long half-life (2.14 x 10 5 years). Tc decays by beta emission to ruthenium-99 which is stable. To further complicate the situation not every decay of 99mTc results in the emission of a gamma ray.
Almost all of the Tc-99m used in nuclear medicine today is produced by radioactive decay of Mo-99. Mo-99 decays with about a 66-hour half-life by emitting a beta particle. About 88 percent of the decays produce Tc-99m via the pathway depicted in Figure 2.1.
Molybdenum-99 (99Mo, half-life = 66 h) is a parent radionuclide of a diagnostic nuclear isotope. It decays in technetium-99 m ( , half-life = 6 h), which is used in over 30 million procedures per year around the world.
Appendix DAlternative Molybdenum-99 Production Processes. There are two primary processes for producing molybdenum-99 (Mo-99): fission of uranium-235 (U-235) and neutron capture of molybdenum-98 (Mo-98).

Molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) is the radioactive isotope that enables many diagnostic nuclear medicine procedures such as SPECT scans, which can detect many potentially life-threatening conditions and help patients receive the potentially life-saving treatments they need.
Mo-99 is produced in the uranium-bearing targets by irradiating them with thermal neutrons. Some of the U-235 nuclei absorb these neutrons, which can cause them to fission. The fission of the U-235 nucleus produces two but sometimes three lower-mass nuclei referred to as fission fragments.
Tc-99m is the preferred tracer for a number of scans used in medicine worldwide to help diagnose medical conditions. Tc-99m scans are used to detect a wide range of conditions including injuries, infections, tumours, heart disease, thyroid abnormalities, kidney conditions and also to guide some cancer procedures.
Using current methods, technetium 99m costs about $20 to $25 per dose in North America. That is much lower than the true cost of production, in part because governments paid a large share for nuclear reactor fuel, waste handling and the original price of building the reactors themselves.
The isotope has a half-life of about 6 hours and emits 140 keV photons when it decays to Tc-99, a radioactive isotope with about a 214,000-year half-life.
