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.
1. Both radioisotopes and enriched stable isotopes are essential to a wide variety of applications in medicine, where they are used in the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses.adioactive isotopes and enriched stable isotopes are used widely in medicine, agriculture, industry, and science, where their application allows us to perform many tasks more accurately, more simply, less expensively, and more quickly than would otherwise be possible.
