BASIC characteristics of 90Y.
90Y is produced for labeling of microspheres by the neutron bombardment
of stable yttrium 89 but can also be developed by chemical separation from its parent isotope strontium 90.2 The decay of 90Y is primarily through b(
) emission of a high-speed electron to stable zirconium-90 with an
average energy of 0.9367 MeV, a mean tissue penetration
of 2.5 mm and a maximum of 11 mm, and a half-life of 2.67 days (64.2 hours).
