Isotopes as tracers can be easy to follow even if you are in low concentration and also by non-invasive(distructive) methods.
Stable isotopes are used as tracers.
Alloys
Either beta or gamma
Polonium isotopes are not used as tracers.
true
In medicine isotopes are used for treatments, diagnostics or as tracers.
Tracers like technetium-99m are used in medical imaging to diagnose conditions like cancer and heart disease. In environmental science, isotopes like carbon-14 are used to trace the movement of pollutants in ecosystems. Radioactive isotopes work as tracers because they can be easily detected using specialized equipment, allowing scientists to track their movement and behavior with high sensitivity and accuracy.

tracer
Yes, radioactive isotopes are used in medicine for diagnostic imaging and cancer treatment, in power plants for generating electricity through nuclear fission reactions, and as tracers in industries to track the movement of substances in various processes.
Radioactive isotopes are used in medicine (treatment or diagnostic), as tracers in hydrogeology, physiology, sources of energy, standards for radiation, sterilization, radioactive dating, etc.
