Sarcoma (health) and radionuclide generator (medicine)


Sarcoma (health)


A cancer of the bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels or Other connective or supportive tissue. A sarcoma is also defined as malignant mesenchymal neoplasm; e.g. osteosarcoma, (malignant mesenchymal neoplasm arising from bone tissue). Malignant tumor of soft tissue (tissue that connects, supports or surrounds Other structures and organs of the body). Soft tissue includes muscles, tendons, fibrous tissues, fat, blood vessels and nerves.





radionuclide generator (medicine)


radionuclide generator


A column containing a large amount of a particular radionuclide (mother radionuclide) that decays down to a second radionuclide of shorter physical half-life; the daughter radionuclide is separated from the parent by the process of elution and affords a continuing supply of relatively short-lived radionuclides for laboratory use; the elution is loosely termed "milking" with the generator referred to as a "radioactive cow."
