The term radionuclide is one we apply to any atom with an unstable atomic nucleus. It's the correct term for radioisotope. These atoms are radioactive, and emit radioactivitywhen they undergo radioactive decay. There are unstable configurations of every element, and a few elements have no stable nuclear configurations at all. These include technetium, promethium, and also bismuth and all the elements with an atomic number greater than that of bismuth, which is 83.
Radionuclide
A single radionuclide is typically measured in units such as becquerels (Bq) or curies (Ci), which indicate the rate of radioactive decay of that particular radionuclide.
The substance injected during an angiography is called radionuclide.
The half-life of a radionuclide is the time it takes for half of the radioactive atoms in a sample to undergo radioactive decay. It is a characteristic property of the radionuclide and can be used to determine the rate at which it decays.
Technitium 99m is the most common radionuclide used in nuclear medicine.
yes
Radionuclide scanning-- Diagnostic test in which a radioactive dye is injected into the bloodstream and photographed to display internal vessels, organs and tissues.
Technitium 99m is the most common radionuclide used in nuclear medicine.
No, it is not. If a radionuclide has a half-life of 1 month, half is gone after 1 month. Half of the half that is left will be gone after 2 months, and that will leave 1/4th of the original amount left after the second month.
Something that is radioactive is called a radionuclide.
Radioisotope and radionuclide are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference. A radioisotope is a type of isotope that emits radiation, while a radionuclide is an atomic nucleus that is unstable and emits radiation. In essence, all radioisotopes are radionuclides, but not all radionuclides are necessarily radioisotopes.
