Radioactive Isotopes Radioactive Isotopes Medical isotopes are used in medicine in three distinct ways: 1. Radioactive isotopes can be injected into a patient‚ and their emitted energy can then be captured on film. The resulting image is an important diagnostic tool. 2. Gamma rays emitted from a radioactive source can be directed onto a tumour‚ destroying the cancerous cells. 3. Radioactive isotopes can be manufactured into drugs.
