It helps the radioisotope bind to the RBC's.


What might be Hershey and Chase have concluded if they had found 32P and 35S in bacterial cells?

They might have concluded that both protein and DNA transmitted hereditary material. The 32P was a radioisotope in DNA, and the 35S was a radioisotope in proteins. They were used to track the DNA and proteins to see if they were injected by a virus into a bacterium.


How are tacers used to help with medical diagnosis?

A radioactive isotope which, when attached to a chemically similar substance or injected into a biological or physical system, can be traced by radiation detection devices, permitting determination of the distribution or location of the substance to which it is attached. Also known as radiotracer.

How are scrotal nuclear medicine scans performed?

radioisotope, technetium-99, combined in a chemical (pertechnate) is injected intravenously while the patient is under a.gamma camera. It then creates pictures.that reveal where the isotope went in the scrotum.


Can radiation patients be near babies?

Radiation patients can get near babies if they have been given an external beam radiation. However, if they have been given the injected radioactive isotope, a common treatment for thyroid diseases, they cannot go near babies or even other individuals for that matter.
