What Are Some Common Radioisotopes Used as Tracers?
Several radioisotopes are commonly used in toxicology studies. These include Carbon-14 and Tritium for organic molecules, Iodine-131 for studying thyroid function, and Technetium-99m for imaging blood flow. Each isotope is selected based on its properties, such as half-life and type of radiation, to match the specific requirements of a study.
