Radiopharmaceuticals are radioactive isotopes attached to biomolecules that can attack specific organs, tissues, or cells in the human body. These radiopharmaceuticals can be used to diagnose disease and, increasingly, to treat disease.
A radionuclide scan is an imaging test that uses small amounts of radioactive chemicals (isotopes) called tracers that can detect cancer, trauma, infections, or other conditions.

How are radioisotopes used in medical diagnostics?

Radioactive isotopes are widely used as diagnostic and effective therapeutic tools for disease. Isotopes are administered for diagnostic purposes and are located inside the body with a type of scanner. Decay products (often gamma ray emissions) can be located and their intensity measured.
