Radioactive Isotope Diagnosis

Radioactive isotope diagnosis, often used in medical imaging, involves the use of small amounts of radioactive materials (isotopes) to help diagnose health conditions. These isotopes emit radiation that can be detected by special cameras, creating images of organs or tissues in the body. This technique allows doctors to see how well an organ is functioning, identify abnormalities, or detect diseases like cancer. The procedure is generally safe, as the amount of radiation is low, and the benefits of accurate diagnosis often outweigh the risks.
