Isotopes are used as tracers in many medical settings. Radioactive isotopes are used to identify abnormal bodily processes. The isotopes can also be used in plants to measure the amount of radioactivity in the leaves.
It is not used in beta radiation you self righteous fool. Gamma radiation is used in tracers, didn't you go to school or did you just sit at home and eat chips all day?
Radioactive isotopes work as tracers because there half lives are useful in deter ing the ages of rocks and fossils
This is because gamma radiation is the most penetrating.
In nuclear fission .
Gamma, i.e. photon emitted from the nucleus, has the highest penetrating power.
Gamma rays.
tracer
RIA measures scintillation due to decay of radioactive tracer. ELISA measures a color change due to an enzyme tracer.
Radioactive elements.
iodine 123 for looking at kidney function. or Technicium 99 a gamma source. there are other beta sources used for leak finding in industrial pipes
Technetium is not really dangerous. Since doctors will often use Technetium 99 as a radioactive tracer. It may be radioactive but its decay is slow and will produce a minute amount of gamma rays.
Cobalt 60 is not used in medicine as tracer. Cobalt 60 is used to destroy cancer tumors by gamma irradiation. Uranium has a gamma radiation with an energy of about 185 keV, very small to be used for a medicinal irradiation.
Either beta or gamma
When conducting a thyroid scan, the patient needs to be given a dose of radioactive iodine by either swallowing or intravenously. During the scan, a gamma scintillation camera takes pictures of the thyroid gland from 3 different angles. The camera detects gamma ray emissions from the decay of the radioactive iodine. Thus the technology of the camera and the computer that generates the image of the thyroid gland are technologies used in conjunction with I-131
Gamma.
The term "used" is not adequate. The radioactive decay of Am-241 is associated with the emission of alpha particles and gamma rays.
No. Gamma rays will not make materials radioactive.
Gamma radiations is a natural process by radioactive material.
They dissolve it in a liquid and the patient drinks it
Technetium is an artificial element with applications as:Technetium-99m is largely used as tracer in radiodiagnostic.Technetium-99 is used as standard source for beta radiation.Technetium-95m is used as tracer in environmental studies.
