Technegas for COPD

Technegas is an ultra-fine dispersion of Technetium-labelled carbon, produced by heating Technetium-99m in a carbon crucible for a few seconds at 2,750 degrees Celsius. The resultant gas-like Technegas, thus produced in a Technegas generator, is a cluster of nano-sized (~35nm) pure carbon platelets of hexagonal shape fully encapsulating Technetium metal crystals. The small size and hydrophobic properties together confirm ideal characteristics for gas-like behaviour on inhalation into the lungs.

This same technolgy is being extended to the study of COPD. This is a user driven initiative and is gaining recognition in the respiratory field.

Keep watching this space for new developments.
