Radioactive Isotopes (Gamma Emission)

Molecular classification
Radioactive isotopes, Radiopharmaceuticals
01

Overview

Radioactive isotopes that undergo gamma decay are used as radiotracers in diagnostic imaging techniques like SPECT and PET. These isotopes emit gamma rays, which are detected by specialized cameras to visualize and quantify biological processes within the body. The distribution and intensity of gamma emissions provide information about organ function, disease markers, and molecular activities. While highly valuable for diagnosis, their use involves exposure to ionizing radiation, necessitating careful dose management and safety protocols.
