"The demand for 99mTc will eventually dry up as a more advanced form of scanning, called Positron Emission Tomography (PET), takes over. This uses different isotopes that can already be manufactured by advanced hospital cyclotrons, but it is more expensive and today used for only a small fraction of scans. In the meantime, governments and researchers are keen to create an alternate supply chain for 99mTc , perhaps using the same cyclotrons that will be needed for PET scans."
