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.
There are many uses of radioactive isotopes. Two of the most common include carbon dating to discover how old fossils and other historical organic (including carbon) artifacts â¦ are and uses of radioactive isotopes in medicine.Radioactive isotopes in medicine are used to help diagnose certain disease states and isolate regions in the body.he rate at which a parent isotope decays to its daughter isotope is considered one half life. Carbon-14 has a half life of 5730 years and its daughter isotope is Nitrogen-14.
