Yes, isotopes are used in humans to make diagnoses of diseases. Common ones are Th, In, and Ga, and an isotope of iodine is used in treatment of hyperthyroid conditions.

Can radioactive isotopes be used for diagnosis and treatment?
Yes, it is true.
What are some of the roles of isotopes?
- Isotopes are used as sources of radiation in medicine, sterilization, nondestructive control, etc.- Isotopes can be used as tracers- Isotopes can be used as energy source- Isotopes are used for radioactive dating- Isotopes are used in chemical analysis- Isotopes are used in many instruments- Isotopes are used as source of nuclear energy in bombs and nuclear reactorsetc.
Is radioactive isotopes used to treat cancer.?
Yes, radioactive isotopes are largely used for the treatment of cancer.
What are Radioactive isotopes used for?
Some examples are deuterium and tritium which are radioactive isotopes of hydrogen.
How can radioactive isotopes be used as tracers?
radioactive isotopes are used to detect medical problems and to treat some diseases.
Use of radioactoive isotapes for medical diagnosis?
Radioactive isotopes for medical diagnosis are used for sterilizing medical apparatus. These isotopes are also used to figure out the actual function of a person's organ and to treat it if necessary.
Can radioactive isotopes be used for diagnosis and treatment?
Yes, it is true.
Use of nuclear energy to medicine?
Radioactive isotopes are made in reactors, and can be used both for diagnosis and treatment, especially of cancer.

How are stable isotopes used in medicine?
Stable isotopes are used as tracers.
What objects use energy?
The use of nuclear energy in civilian society is to generate electricity. In the military it is to make bombs (and hopefully not use them). There are also some uses in medicine where radio isotopes can be used for diagnosis and treatment. These isotopes are produced by irradiation in low power reactors which enable short lived radio isotopes to be obtained as required.
How are radioactive isotopes different from isotopes?
Both isotopes and radioactive isotopes are pretty much the same but radioactive isotopes are better because it can be used to make medicine.
How do you use the word isotopes in a sentence?
The medical test used isotopes.
Is radioactive isotopes used to treat cancer.?
Yes, radioactive isotopes are largely used for the treatment of cancer.
A machine called a centrifuge is used in?
It is used in biochemical sciences to separate suspensions and isotopes and also has different commercial applications. Human centrifuge is used in space science.
