How do medicine use isotopes?
- treatment by irradiation in cancers- scintigraphy- source in positron emission tomography- tracers
Are metastable isotopes used in medicine?
Two isomers of technetium were used in medicine.
Benefits of isotopes to man?
Medicine! It's called nuclear medicine to combat cancer.
Do radioactive isotopes are used in medicine power plants and as tracers?
no
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.
Are there any types of nuclear medicine that doesn't use radioactive isotopes?
All nuclear medicine techniques use radioactive isotopes.
What careers use isotopes?
Examples: chemistry, physics, geology, biology, medicine.
How are stable isotopes used in medicine?
Stable isotopes are used as tracers.
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 is a radioactive isotope helpful in medicine?
In medicine isotopes are used for treatments, diagnostics or as tracers.

Medicine! It's called nuclear medicine to combat cancer.
Use of nuclear energy to medicine?
Radioactive isotopes are made in reactors, and can be used both for diagnosis and treatment, especially of cancer.
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.

no
What type of medicines do vets use?
if the medicine did not harm the animal they can have HUMAN medicine!!
