One of the important and earliest machine invented in this field is the x-ray. The x-ray was dicovered by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen. The x-rays are used to obtain visual information as part of medical imaging.

This gamma radiation can only be effectively stopped with several centimetres of lead and so has no problem passing straight through metal equipment in order to sterilise it. As the gamma rays travel through the equipment‚ they kill any living creature such as bacteria or viruses. With a reasonably long half-life of over five years‚ it is a good choice of equipment for sterilisation as it will give off strong gamma radiation without needing

REWORD WHAT YOU FIND OUT OF PLACE THIS WAS WRITTEN IT A QUICK MANNER Technology is becoming increasingly popular; we are forced to confront it everyday.

Radioactive Isotopes Radioactive isotopes are any of several species of the same chemical element with different masses whose nuclei are unstable and dissipate excess energy by spontaneously emitting radiation in the form of alpha‚ beta‚ and gamma rays. Every chemical element has one or more radioactive isotopes. More than 1‚000 radioactive isotopes of the various elements are known.. Approximately 50 of the isotopes are found in nature; the rest are produced artificially as the direct products of
