A
radiopharmaceutical is a type of medicine that contains a radioactive substance. It is used in medical imaging tests, such as PET scans, to help doctors see certain parts of the body and detect diseases. The radioactive substance emits a small amount of radiation that can be detected by special cameras or scanners, helping doctors get a clearer picture of what's going on inside the body.
