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.
The most common of the medical uses of nuclear energy is its use in both medical and dental imaging. There are different radioactive organic molecules used for different types of imaging. Like for medical and dental imaging Cobalt-60 is used, while Technetium-99m is used as a tracer in the human body to detect diseases.ne of the fields, where nuclear energy is widely used is the field of medicine. As a matter of fact, nuclear medicine is fast emerging as a specialty branch of medicine. Like I have previously mentioned, it is used both for diagnosis as well as treatment of disease.
