One common test that requires injecting a patient with a radioactive substance is a positron emission tomography (PET) scan. During this procedure, a radioactive tracer is injected into the patient's body, which emits positrons that are detected by the scanner to create detailed images of metabolic activity in tissues and organs. This technique is often used in oncology, cardiology, and neurology to diagnose and monitor various conditions.

How is a liver scan performed?
This test can be performed in an outpatient setting or a hospital x-ray department. The patient usually lies down while a radioactive substance (radioactive isotope) which accumulates in the liver is injected through a vein in the arm.
What are the 4 components radioisotopes require for ansto to deem them safe?
same... we can't find it on the net right? I only found two components: 1) short half life so that the substance won't remain highly radioactive in the body 2) High radioactivity so that patient won't have to receive much of it to kill the mutated cells/diseases

Why are some patients given radioactive food?

This statement is incorrect. The products of nuclear fission of uranium are typically highly radioactive, including elements such as cesium, strontium, and iodine. These radioactive byproducts require proper handling and disposal to prevent harm to human health and the environment.
