Radio-isotopes are a crucial component of the radiopharmaceuticals that are used. routinely in the clinics for the non-invasive diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. These radiopharmaceuticals are specific biological molecules tagged (or labelled) with. medical radioisotopes.
Medicine & Scientific Research. In nuclear medicine, medical professionals inject a tiny amount of a radioisotopeâa chemical element that produces radiationâinto a patientâs body. A specific organ picks up the radioisotope, enabling a special camera to take a detailed picture of how that organ is functioning.For example:edicine & Scientific Research.
