Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty that involves the application of radioactive substances to diagnose or treat disease.
Nuclear medicine can be used for image physiological functions.
In addition to imaging, radionuclide therapy can be used to treat conditions such as hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer, and blood disorders.
Common isotopes that are used in nuclear imaging include: fluorine-18, gallium-67, krypton-81m, rubidium-82, nitrogen-13, technetium-99m, indium-111, iodine-123, xenon-133, and thallium-201.

Isotopes are atoms of the same element , with same atomic no: and different mass numbers.
Example : Carbon - 12 and Carbon - 14 isotopes.
Applications in medical field :-
-->An isotope of iodine is used in the treatment of goiter. Goitre is a disease which is caused due to the less amount of iodine in the food which we intake.
-->An isotope of cobalt is used in the treatment of cancer.
