A version of a chemical element that has an
unstable nucleus and emits radiation during
its decay to a stable form

This is a branch of medicine that
uses radiation to provide information about
the functioning of a person's specific organs
or to treat disease

Material tagged with a radioisotope
Eg
DTPA
DMSA
RBC,WBC,Plt
HIDA
Albumin
EDTA
In isotope studies the radiation (gamma rays)
originates from within a radiopharmaceutical
in the body.

The spontaneous emission of radiation from
atomic nuclei
can consist of alpha, beta, and gamma
radiation

Radioactive tracers emit gamma rays from
within the body.
generally short-lived isotopes linked to
chemical compounds,permit specific
physiological processes to be scrutinized.
Photons are detected by a gamma camera
which can view organs from many different
angles.
The camera builds up an image from the
points from which radiation is emitted; this
image is enhanced by a computer
