Most likely gamma radiations emitter so that they can penetrate t5he ground layers to reach the detector while alpha and beta would be instantly stopped.

Also the radioisotope has to be of a short half-life time (not extremely short) so that it would not remain in the water (if it'a a water pipe leakage) for long causing harm to humans.

Nuclear medicine techniques work through the detection of this kind of radiation injected into the body by adding a radioisotope to a certain drug?

Nuclear medicine techniques depend on detecting gamma rays emitted by the radioisotope injected into the body. The radioisotope is attached to a specific drug that targets particular organs or tissues. By monitoring the distribution of the radioisotope, healthcare providers can diagnose and treat various medical conditions.


What kind of protective equipment is there after a radioisotope is ingested?

None, I am afraid. Once the radioisotope is INSIDE the body, any EXTERNAL protective equipment is useless. The only helpful approach would be aiding the excretion of the radioactive substance, but the possibility of eliminating the radioisotope (through the urine, faeces, breath or sweat) depends very much on the type of isotope and on its chemical form-


What is a half life of a radioisotope?

The half-life of a radioisotope is the time it takes for half of the atoms in a sample to decay. It is a characteristic property unique to each radioisotope and can be used to determine the rate of radioactive decay. Shorter half-lives indicate faster decay rates.

Can psychic mediums detect demons?

Depends on the medium. Assuming you believe in psychics and that kind of stuff (which personally I do not subscribe to). Different mediums will claim different powers, for example predicting the future or talking with deceased loved ones. Most probably do not have "demon detecting" on their list of skills. If demon detecting is your primary purpose, you'd be best going to a priest, preferably catholic.
