to detect radiation, a device such as Geiger- Muller tube is used
To shrink cancerous tumors
The everyday uses of an isotope include food irradiation, medical applications, archaeological dating, and in instruments like smoke detectors. Some medical uses are for bone imaging and radiation therapy for cancer.
Curing cancer and sterilise medical equipment
Some cancers are treated with radiation.
by pioneering radiation studies which helped lead to their medical uses.
MRI uses radio waves; a CT scan uses x-rays.
The positive uses of nuclear chemistry is its application in the medical field for imaging. It is a very useful diagnostic tool. Radiation and radioisotopes also have applications in agriculture for insect control.
energy/electricity/weapons
Some of the medical machines use radiation and cancer treatments still use radiation as part of killing the cancers.
Radiation is used in removing toxic materials in the environment like some hazardous gasses in the air. Radiation is also used in some medical treatments.
