99Mo breakthrough (MBT) is a serious issue in daily nuclear medicine clinical practice as it results in significant radiation exposure to the patients and nuclear medicine staff as well. In addition, it also degrades the image quality due to scattering. Therefore, every eluate should be checked for MBT to avoid its consequences.
