Sodium pertechnetate is the inorganic compound with the formula NaTcO₄. This colourless salt contains the pertechnetate anion, TcO⁻
₄ that has slightly distorted tetrahedron symmetry both at 296 K and at 100 K while the coordination polyhedron of the sodium cation is different from typical for scheelite structure. The radioactive ^99m
Tc
O⁻
₄ anion is an important radiopharmaceutical for diagnostic use. The advantages to ^99m
Tc
include its short half-life of 6 hours and the low radiation exposure to the patient, which allow a patient to be injected with activities of more than 30 millicuries. Na[^99m

O
₄] is a precursor to a variety of derivatives that are used to image different parts of the body.
