20
Q

Radionuclides/ radioisotopes

A

Alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays.

21
Q

Nuclear medicine tests

A

In vitro: test tube

In vivi: in the body.

22
Q

In vitro procedures; Analysis of blood and urine: radioimmunoassay

A

RIA uses radioactive chemicals and antibodies to detect hormones and drugs in the patients blood. (Digitalis, detection, hypothyroidism in newborns).

23
Q

In vivi procedures; radioactive substances

A

Radioactive substances are given directly to patient to evaluate organ function or image.
(Radio pharmaceutical concentrates on organ, scintiscanner detection instrument produces picture).
