Technetium (99mTc) oxidronic acid, also known as 99mTc-HDP (hydroxymethylene diphosphonate), is a radiopharmaceutical compound used in nuclear medicine, particularly for bone scintigraphy imaging. It binds to hydroxyapatite crystals in bone, allowing visualization of bone metabolism and detection of bone lesions. It is approved and widely used today for diagnostic imaging.
