Her doctor assays the dose - the technetium is continually decaying, so it is important to check that it is still sufficiently radioactive to produce an image, but not enough to be harmful.

The official discovery of element-43 is accorded to Emilio Segrè and co-workers. Technetium, as they called it, was the last of elements 1-92 to be tracked down, and in fact it had to be ...
