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.
Applications of radiography include medical radiography and industrial radiography: if the object being examined is living, whether human or animal, it is regarded as medical; all other radiography is regarded as industrial radiographic work or Industrial computed tomography.uclear medicine typically involves gamma rays. The types of electromagnetic radiation of most interest to radiography are X-ray and gamma radiation. This radiation is much more energetic than the more familiar types such as radio waves and visible light.
