Chapter 20, Problem 34RQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason behind the statement, ‘the alpha emitters are not used in the medical diagnostic procedures,’ is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Radionuclide is defined as an atom having excess of nuclear energy. This energy is released by the process of radioactive decay of the nucleus.
With the decrease in the number of radionuclides, the intensity of the radiation decreases.
