Some imaging uses radioactive isotopes to see various parts of the body.
- treatment by irradiation in cancers- scintigraphy- source in positron emission tomography- tracers
Two isomers of technetium were used in medicine.
Medicine! It's called nuclear medicine to combat cancer.
- Isotopes are used as sources of radiation in medicine, sterilization, nondestructive control, etc.- Isotopes can be used as tracers- Isotopes can be used as energy source- Isotopes are used for radioactive dating- Isotopes are used in chemical analysis- Isotopes are used in many instruments- Isotopes are used as source of nuclear energy in bombs and nuclear reactorsetc.
It depends what you want to use it for. They are extremely dangerous and can kill you if exposed to the wrong kind, but they are also how much of the world's electricity is produced. Radioactive isotopes are also commonly used in medicine for a number of beneficial purposes. Radioactive isotopes are also what nuclear bombs use. Like most things in the world, they can be used for great good, and terrible harm... it just depends on what you do with it.
All nuclear medicine techniques use radioactive isotopes.
Examples: chemistry, physics, geology, biology, medicine.
Stable isotopes are used as tracers.

Both isotopes and radioactive isotopes are pretty much the same but radioactive isotopes are better because it can be used to make medicine.

In medicine isotopes are used for treatments, diagnostics or as tracers.
Radioactive isotopes are made in reactors, and can be used both for diagnosis and treatment, especially of cancer.
The use of nuclear energy in civilian society is to generate electricity. In the military it is to make bombs (and hopefully not use them). There are also some uses in medicine where radio isotopes can be used for diagnosis and treatment. These isotopes are produced by irradiation in low power reactors which enable short lived radio isotopes to be obtained as required.
if the medicine did not harm the animal they can have HUMAN medicine!!
medicine type drugs
