Be PROTECTED from the DANGERS of RADIOPHARMACEUTICALS


Share

Radiopharmaceuticalsare unique medicinal formulations containing radioisotopes which are used in major clinical areas for diagnosis and/or therapy.They emit radiation during its decay to a stable form.

Applications

radioisotopes

The characteristic of radioactive decay is what makes radioisotopes useful in different medical applications.Some of the applications are:

  • To treat medical conditions
  • To diagnose pathology
  • To visualize and measure physiological functions
  • To visualize localize structures and pathways

Radiation Risks

Even though radiopharmaceuticals are clinically useful!its use may pose some risks such as:

  1. Can damage normal tissue and organs
  2. High doses can cause illness and death
  3. Can cause mutations in DNA
  4. Contamination of large areas poses clean-up difficulty
  5. Disposal of waste is difficult
  6. Storage and transportation are both problematic
