Give two examples of how tracers are used?
Tracer: A radioactive isotope that can be followed through the steps of a chemical reaction or industrial process.Two example of Tracers:1. tracers are used in finding weak spots in metal pipes and especially in oil pipes.2. Tracers injected into the body travel to organs and other structures where the chemical is normally used. this detects radiation.
What are two uses for radioactive tracers?
Radioactive tracers are used in medicine for imaging procedures like PET scans to detect abnormal tissues or diseases. They are also used in environmental studies to trace the movement of substances in ecosystems or to monitor water flow in rivers and oceans.
Does all radioactive tracers detect pathology in every body system?
No, radioactive tracers are often specific to certain organs or tissues within the body. Different tracers are used to detect pathology in different body systems based on their biological properties and distribution in the body. It is important to select the appropriate tracer for the specific pathology being investigated.
What are radioactive isotopes most commonly used as?
Several applications are:- radioactive tracers- source of energy- source of radiation- diagnostic- treatment- luminescent paintings- sterilization

How are radioactive substances used in hospitals?
they are used as:radioactive tracers to be injected to the patient for later on photographing for diagnosis purposes.as enclosed and shielded radioactive source and the patient is exposed to its radiation for treatment and/or diagnosis.

Radioactive tracers are useful in?
Radioactive tracers are useful in various fields such as medicine, industry, and environmental science. They help track the movement of substances in biological systems, monitor industrial processes, and study environmental pollution. By following the path of the tracer, researchers can gain valuable insights into different processes and make informed decisions.
