What is sealed and unsealed radioactive source?
sealed radioactive source means the radioactive isotopes which is encapsulated with a stainless steel to avoid higher LET radiation condamination .typically source may be used in brachytherapy to treat the cancer and unsealed source used to in nuclear medicine which is the radioactive source is not sealed examble IODINE131
Does intracavitary radiation make people radioactive?
Patients receiving intracavitary radiation do become temporarily radioactive
What happens to Iodine-125 brachytherapy seeds after decay?
Iodine-125 (53125I) decays by beta+ decay, with a half-life of 59.4 days, to tellurium-125 (52125Te), which is stable and non-radioactive.
If radium and chlorine combine to form radium chloride what is true about the compound?
As radium is radioactive, radium chloride would also be radioactive. Any compounds make with any radioactive material are radioactive, and they cannot be "not" radioactive. Radioactive material doesn't really care if it is "alone" or in compound; it will be radioactive in any case.
What kind of molecule must be labeled to make radioactively labeled DNA?

What is brachytherapy?
When radioactive pellets are implanted directly into the tumor
Radioactive materials are implanted into the tissues to be treated?
Brschytherapy
Treatment with use of radioactive materials implanted into the tissues is known as?
brachytherapy
What is it called when radioactive materials are implanted into the tissues to be treated?
The most general term is "radiotherapy", or "radiation therapy", but that term would also include external sources of radiation being used to irradiate the target tissue. When radioactive sources are implanted to deliver a therapeutic dose of radiation, the term "brachytherapy" is used.
