Radiopharmaceuticals are administered primarily for diagnostic imaging and therapeutic purposes in nuclear medicine. They emit radiation that can be detected by specialized imaging equipment, allowing for the visualization of physiological processes, tissue function, and disease states within the body. Additionally, some radiopharmaceuticals are used to target and treat specific conditions, such as cancer, by delivering targeted radiation to diseased cells while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. This dual role enhances both diagnosis and treatment in medical practice.
