A common drug that has this property is purified by “milking” a moly cow and (20[1])is denoted (20[1])with the suffix “99-m.” (20[1])Drugs with this property are used for (20[1])theranostics like SPECT. Dosing of drugs with this property is calculated by comparing the “effective” and “absorbed” joules per kilogram, measured in either (*) grays or sieverts.
