Radionuclides in medicine

Nuclear medicine uses radiation to provide information about the functioning of a person's specific organs to diagnose or treat disease.

For three unknown medical radionuclides, students will graph their decay over time, use the graph to calculate their half-life, and determine the identify and use of each radionuclide using background information provided.
