Which consequence results when a nuclear medicine technologist incorrectly uses Molybdenum-99?

💡 Explanation

Using decayed Molybdenum-99 increases patient radiation exposure because Technetium-99m has already significantly decayed; therefore, a larger dose is needed to achieve diagnostic image quality which means higher radiation rather than therapeutic effect at the desired level.
