    Iodine-124 can be made by numerous nuclear reactions via a cyclotron. The most common starting material used is 124 Te. Iodine-124 as the iodide salt can be used to directly image the thyroid using positron emission tomography (PET). [9] Iodine-124 can also be used as a PET radiotracer with a usefully longer half-life compared with fluorine-18 ...

    Iodine is a chemical element with many uses in medicine, depending on the form. Elemental iodine and iodophors are topical antiseptics. [2] Iodine, in non-elemental form, functions as an essential nutrient in human biology (see iodine in biology). [3]

  7. Povidone-iodine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Povidone-iodine

    Povidone-iodine is a chemical complex of povidone, hydrogen iodide, and elemental iodine. [4] The recommended strength solution contains 10% Povidone, with total iodine species equaling 10,000 ppm or 1% total titratable iodine. [4] It works by releasing iodine which results in the death of a range of microorganisms. [1]

    Such a triglyceride has a high iodine value (approx. 119). Below, the reaction product after the addition of four equivalents of iodine or bromine to the four C=C double bonds of the unsaturated fatty acid residues. The determination of iodine value is a particular example of iodometry. A solution of iodine I 2 is yellow/brown in color.
