Molybdenum-95 is a radioactive isotope of the element molybdenum, with a half-life of about 61.5 days. It is primarily used in the production of technetium-99m, a widely used radioisotope in medical imaging. Molybdenum-95 decays into technetium-95, which is stable and has applications in various fields. This isotope is produced in nuclear reactors and is essential for diagnostic procedures in nuclear medicine. Its ability to emit gamma rays makes it valuable for imaging techniques, allowing doctors to visualize organs and tissues in the body effectively.
