Question 23 • Physics

Which applications, either for diagnostic purposes or for therapeutic purposes, involve radioactive materials placed in the body? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
laser eye surgery
B
radioisotope imaging
C
radiopharmaceuticals
D
brachytherapy
E
external beam radiation therapy
F
MRI
G
lithotripsy

Explanation

Radioisotope imaging uses a radioactive tracer introduced into the body so its distribution can be detected. Radiopharmaceuticals are radioactive drugs that may be used for diagnosis or treatment, and brachytherapy treats disease by placing a radioactive source inside or near the target tissue. External beam radiation therapy delivers radiation from outside the body, so it does not involve placing radioactive material in the body.
