Here's why:
* Radioisotope: A radioactive form of an element.
* Radiopharmaceutical: A pharmaceutical drug (medicine) that contains a radioisotope. This radioisotope allows for imaging or therapeutic applications.
Example: A common radiopharmaceutical is Technetium-99m (Tc-99m), often used in medical imaging. It is incorporated into various molecules, like those targeting bone or the heart, to create images of these structures.
