Medical Usage - these are isotopes added into biological molecules (like sucrose, sugar) and injected into humans to look for accumulation which may indicate cancer and other diseases.
Medical treatments. Radioactive iodine (I131) is used to treat hyperthyroidism or thyroid cancer by killing the thyroid tissue using radiation.
Chemical/Biological/Agricultural Usage Isotopes are added to small biological molecules and then added into cells to see how bigger biological molecules are made from these cells. Isotopically label glucose to see if it is used in making penicillin by certain molds.
Archelogical dating - used to determine the age of older materials from carbon-14 dating and other dating. Warning it only works for materials that have carbon in them - like organic items (paper, cloth, wood etc) and not stone, brick...
Smoke alarms - Isotopes like Americium 241 is used in smoke alarms
Food irradiation using gamma rays. This kills surface bacteria which spoil foods faster and also may cause people to be come ill.

What are the examples of isotones?
Isotopes are important due to their uses. Examples include Carbon-14 for dating rocks, Iodine-131 for diagnosing thyroid problems, Cobalt-60 for medical radiotherapy and industrial radiography, and Uranium-235 for producing nuclear energy.
What are three uses for einsteinium?
Einsteinium is used for nuclear physics research or as a raw material to obtain new heavier isotopes.
What are some important uses for copernicium?
Copernicium has no uses.
How many uses does salt have?
Too numerous to list.
What are important uses of francium?
Francium hasn't practical uses.
List the isotopes used in agriculture?
There are far too many isotopes of different elements to list them here. Just as one example, most hydrogen is 1H, but 2H is the hydrogen in deuterium, which has several industrial uses. A more specific question will get a more specific answer.
A list with explanation of at least 3 medical medical uses of radioactive materials?
The explanation is the effect of ionizing radiation on tissues and materials.Three uses are:- sterilizing of instruments and parapharmaceutic items- diagnostic with radioactive isotopes (scintigraphy)- treatment of cancers with radioactive isotopes

What type of medicine use isotopes?
Some imaging uses radioactive isotopes to see various parts of the body.
What are three uses of isotopes?
Carbon-14 is used to determine the age of fossils. Radiation therapy for cancer comes from isotopes that emit gamma rays. Thyroid tissue that may be cancerous and has left the throat region can be located in the body with radioactive iodine.
What are 2 uses of radioactive isotopes?
Carbon dating and tracking.
