A member asked:
Can you tell me how are radio-active elements used in medicine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many uses: Radioactive chemicals can be injected for treatment such as Radio-iodine for thyroid destruction. They can be used for diagnosis such as PET scans to measure tissue activity and bone scans. They can be used as a source of external radiation for focused treatment such as the gamma knife. This has fostered a sub-specialty of nuclear medicine.
