Here are some of the many uses of radioactive elements in health care.

1) Soft tissue imaging

Health professionals use radioactive ¹⁸F in positive emission tomography (PET) scans to PET to detect and evaluate most cancers and to provide images of the heart and brain.

2) Diagnosis of disease

Health professionals use radioactive ¹³¹I to diagnose thyroid disorders.

3) Antibiotics

Biochemists use radioactively labelled antibiotics to determine how they are used and metabolized by the body.

4) Treatment of cancer

Health professionals use ¹³¹I to treat certain types of thyroid cancer. They also use ⁸⁹Sr, ¹⁵³Sm, and ²²³Ra to treat various types of bone cancer.
