It is used for diagnoses involving a large range of body parts and diseases such as cancers and neurological problems. [1] Another well-known radioactive isotope used in medicine is Iodine-131, which is used as a radioactive label for some radiopharmaceutical therapies or the treatment of some types of thyroid cancer.

Extremely radioactive elements: the most stable isotope has half-life less than several minutes. Very little is known about these elements due to their extreme instability and radioactivity. Français : Tableau périodique avec les éléments colorés selon la demi-vie de leur isotope le plus stable.
This is a list of radioactive nuclides (sometimes also called isotopes), ordered by half-life from shortest to longest, in seconds, minutes, hours, days and years. Current methods make it difficult to measure half-lives between approximately 10 −19 and 10 −10 seconds.
Slightly radioactive elements: the most stable isotope is very long-lived, with a half-life of over two million years. Radioactive elements: the most stable isotope has half-life between 800 and 34,000 years.
Extremely radioactive elements: the most stable isotope has half-life less than several minutes. Very little is known about these elements due to their extreme instability and radioactivity. Note that this table only addresses the most stable isotope of each element.
A chart or table of nuclides maps the nuclear, or radioactive, behavior of nuclides, as it distinguishes the isotopes of an element.It contrasts with a periodic table, which only maps their chemical behavior, since isotopes (nuclides that are variants of the same element) do not differ chemically to any significant degree, with the exception of hydrogen.
A list of nuclear medicine radiopharmaceuticals follows. Some radioisotopes are used in ionic or inert form without attachment to a pharmaceutical; these are also included. There is a section for each radioisotope with a table of radiopharmaceuticals using that radioisotope. The sections are ordered alphabetically by the English name of the ...
The next group is the primordial radioactive nuclides. These have been measured to be radioactive, or decay products have been identified in natural samples (tellurium-128, barium-130). There are 35 of these (see these nuclides), of which 25 have half-lives longer than 10 13 years. With most of these 25, decay is difficult to observe and for ...
