What is the maximum amount of 99mTc oxidronate (in mCi) that can be prepared from one kit?

The maximum amount of 99mTc oxidronate that can be prepared from one kit is typically defined by the manufacturer's specifications, which often indicate the maximum yield based on the amount of the radiopharmaceutical that can be eluted or prepared from the kit.

In the case of 99mTc oxidronate, each kit is designed to utilize a specific amount of 99mTc per preparation. It is important to understand that the yield can also depend on the activity of the 99Mo/99mTc generator used, but generally, the upper limit for many kits falls around 175 mCi. This figure represents a safe operational limit that ensures optimal radiopharmaceutical performance while minimizing potential radiotoxicity and ensuring effective imaging capabilities.

The other options, while plausible amounts based on generator output, do not align with the usual maximum yield stated by the manufacturers. Therefore, the correct amount you can expect from a single kit is limited to 175 mCi, making it the standard response regarding quality control and adherence to safety practices in nuclear medicine.
