Radioisotopes - gamma emitters & short half life - long enough to detect‚ but not long enough for damage. Beta particles emitters are more useful than alpha particle emitters because they penetrate more and so are more easily detected. Also‚ less damaging. The half life is the time taken for half the isotope to decay Mass left = initial
