What procedure does a lung perfusion scan involve?
a small amount of the protein labeled with a radioisotope is injected into the patient's hand or arm vein. The patient is positioned under a special camera that can detect radioactive material
What precaution should nurse take when nursing a patient that is having radioisotope?
It depends on what radioactive substance your dealing with.
How are radioactive substances used in hospitals?
they are used as:radioactive tracers to be injected to the patient for later on photographing for diagnosis purposes.as enclosed and shielded radioactive source and the patient is exposed to its radiation for treatment and/or diagnosis.
How does radioimmunotherapy work?
To carry out radioimmunotherapy, antibodies with the ability to bind specifically to a patient's cancer cells are attached to radioactive material and injected into the patient's bloodstream
How are scrotal nuclear medicine scans performed?
radioisotope, technetium-99, combined in a chemical (pertechnate) is injected intravenously while the patient is under a.gamma camera. It then creates pictures.that reveal where the isotope went in the scrotum.
How do they administer the dye in a thyroid nuclear medicine scan?
Most often, the patient is given the radioactive substance in the form of a tasteless liquid or capsule. It may be injected into a vein (intravenously) in some instances.

When a radioactive tracer is used why is it best to use a radioactive isotope that decays into a stable isotope?
The principle behind the use of radioactive tracers is that an atom in a chemical compound is replaced by another atom, of the same chemical element. The substituting atom, however, is a radioactive isotope. This process is often called radioactive labeling.
How does radioactive tracer get into the body?
They dissolve it in a liquid and the patient drinks it
What other ways are there to test the liver for Budd-Chiari Syndrome?
In some cases, a tiny amount of radioactive material is injected into a patient, and then an abnormal pattern of radioactivity in the liver can be revealed. In other cases, a liver biopsy enables a physician to examine cells from the liver itself.
