Radioisotopes in Medicine
Nuclear medicine utilizes radiation for diagnosing and treating diseases, especially cancer, by targeting specific cells. Over 50 million procedures are performed annually, with technetium-99m being the most used radioisotope. It's crucial for imaging organs and detecting disorders. Radiotherapy, including brachytherapy, effectively treats cancers with minimal side effects. Sterilization of medical equipment also relies on radioisotopes, highlighting their broad medical applications.
