Self-luminous paints (only in the past, before 1930), Ra-Be neutron sources, preparation of radon from RaCl2 solutions, medical uses for the treatment of conditions such as cancer (now being replaced by radioactive cobalt, 60Co sources, 137Cs, etc.).
Its use in medicine has declined because of its cost, and its use in consumer goods (to illuminate watch and clock hands and numbers, as well as instrument dials) was halted because it can cause radiation injury. It is still used for some radiography and as a source of neutrons.

Possible use in radiotherapy of some cancers.
Radium was used in the past for luminescent painting of watches and other instruments, was used in toothpaste, cosmetics, etc. These applications are not permitted now because radium is strongly radioactive and dangerous.

Did radium help saves lives?
Today radium-226 is not used for radiotherapy.
Is radium treatment given everyday?
Today the radiotherapy wit radium is only rarely used; many other isotopes are more cheaper and efficient.
What is the value of radium today?
Today radium has only limited applications in research laboratories, for example for the preparation of radon standard solutions, in neutron sources of the type Ra-Be, etc. Possible use in radiotherapy of some cancers. Radium was used in the past for luminescent painting of watches and other instruments, was used rarely in toothpaste, cosmetics, etc. These applications are not permitted now because radium is strongly radioactive and dangerous. :)

5 uses of radium in the home and industry?
Today radium has only limited applications in research laboratories, for example for the preparation of radon standard solutions, in neutron sources of the type Ra-Be, etc. Possible use in radiotherapy of some cancers. Radium was used in the past for luminescent painting of watches and other instruments, was used rarely in toothpaste, cosmetics, etc. These applications are not permitted now because radium is strongly radioactive and dangerous. Now radium hasn't any use at home and in the industry.
