Radioisotopes are a unique category of special medicine. These radioactive isotopes are used in nuclear medicine, a field that combines molecular imaging and therapeutics to detect and manage various medical conditions. Radioisotopes emit radiation that can be detected by specialized imaging equipment, making them valuable for diagnostic purposes, particularly in imaging procedures like PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scans. Additionally, they are employed in radiation therapy to treat conditions such as cancer.
