How are radioactive tracers used in science?
Radioactive tracers are used in science to track the movement of molecules in biological systems. By incorporating a radioactive isotope into a molecule, scientists can follow its distribution and transformations within living organisms or chemical reactions. This technique is valuable for studying metabolic pathways, identifying diseases, and investigating physiological processes.
Which technique is also known as a scintigram?
A scintigram refers to a diagnostic imaging technique called scintigraphy, which uses radioactive tracers to produce images of organs and tissues in the body. It is commonly used in nuclear medicine to evaluate various medical conditions.
Positron-emission tomography forms images of body tissues this is known as what?
Positron-emission tomography (PET) forms images of body tissues using radioactive tracers that emit positrons. This imaging technique is used to detect functional processes in the body, such as metabolism or blood flow, and is commonly used in medical diagnosis and research.
When radioactive isotopes break down into other elements the process is called?
radioactive decay
Is graphite radioactive?
No, graphite is not radioactive.
What effect do radioactive tracers have on fertility?
none
Are radioactive tracers short lived?
rays
Radioactive isotopes that can be followed through a chemical reaction or a industrial process is?
tracer
Give two examples of how tracers are used .tell why radioactive isotopes work as tracers?
Alloys
What is the source of radioactive tracers in pipes?
Radioactive tracers in pipes can come from various sources such as leakages from nuclear facilities, medical facilities that use radioactive materials for treatments, or industrial processes that involve radioactive isotopes. These tracers are used to detect leaks, blockages, or flow patterns in pipes.
