Because it is possible a measurement of the radioactivity of an isotope during a chemical process, a medical investigation, a biological cycle in the nature, hydrology, study of pollution and many others important applications.
Because they are the easiest way to see where, when, and how a particular chemical moves into and through the body.
You can use a Radiac (e.g. G-M Counter) on each intermediate and end product to see where the isotope went.

radioactive isotopes are used to detect medical problems and to treat some diseases.
Radioactive isotopes are used in medicine (treatment or diagnostic), as tracers in hydrogeology, physiology, sources of energy, standards for radiation, sterilization, radioactive dating, etc.
In medicine isotopes are used for treatments, diagnostics or as tracers.
true
tracer
radioactive elements, tracers, are used in molecular research to investigate the movement of atoms and molecules through a biological system. At various intervals the movement of the radioactive atoms can be traced using photographic film.
