radioisotope. a radioactive form of an element, consisting of atoms with unstable nuclei, which undergo radioactive decay to stable forms, emitting characteristic alpha, beta, or gamma radiation. These may occur naturally, as in the cases of radium and uranium, or may be created artificially.
In higher doses, radioisotopes also help treat disease. For example, radioactive iodineâs widespread use in therapy for thyroid cancer results in a lower recurrence rate than drug therapy. It also avoids potentially fatal side effects, such as the destruction of bone marrow.
