Radioisotope Techniques

Radioisotope techniques involve using radioactive isotopes to investigate and analyze various processes in fields like medicine, archaeology, and environmental science. These isotopes emit radiation, which can be detected and measured. In medicine, for example, they are used in imaging studies, such as PET scans, to visualize organs and tissues. In archaeology, carbon-14 dating helps determine the age of ancient artifacts. By tracing how these isotopes behave in different environments, researchers can gain valuable insights into biological, chemical, and geological processes, making radioisotope techniques a powerful tool for understanding the world around us.
