A radionuclide generator is a device used to produce radioisotopes, which are unstable isotopes of elements that emit radiation as they decay. These generators are particularly important in the field of nuclear medicine for diagnostic imaging and treatment. The most common type of radionuclide generator is the molybdenum-technetium (Mo-Tc) generator.
