Radionuclide scanning-- Diagnostic test in which a radioactive dye is injected into the bloodstream and photographed to display internal vessels, organs and tissues.

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 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
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.
