- Abstract
Radioisotopes are an essential part of medical diagnostic actions. In permutation with imaging devices which chronicle the gamma rays emit from within, they can study the dynamic processes taking place in various parts of the body. Nuclear remedy uses radiation to provide diagnostic information about the functioning of a person's specific organs, or to treat them. Diagnostic procedures using radioisotopes are now routine. Radiotherapy can be used to treat some medical circumstances, especially cancer, using radiation to weaken or destroy particular targeted cells. Nuclear medicine uses radiation to provide information about the implementation of a person's specific organs, or to treat disease. Radioactive isotopes have lots of useful applications. In therapeutics, for example, cobalt-60 is extensively employed as a emission source to hold the growth of cancer. Other radioactive isotopes are used as tracers for diagnostic purposes as well as in research on metabolic processes.
