give isotopes that are used in medicine field and state the uses of each isotopes?


Answers:
Nuclear medicine uses radiation to provide diagnostic information about the functioning of a person's specific organs, or to treat them. Radiotherapy which employs use of isotopes can be used to treat some medical conditions, especially cancer, using radiation to weaken or destroy particular targeted cells. for eg iodine-131 to treat thryoid disease,Iridium 192 implants are used in the head,strontium-89 and (increasingly) samarium 153 are used for the relief of cancer-induced bone pain.
I131-throid studies
P32- treatment of cancer
CO60- radiation therapy
CO58- test for PA
Strontium- bone scans
