Radiopharmaceuticals are drugs that use radioactive material to treat or diagnose disease. These drugs can also be referred to as medical radioisotopes. Radiopharmaceuticals help to provide doctors with an image of a patient’s internal organs through a noninvasive procedure. Less frequently, radioisotopes are used for treatment of cancer and other diseases, this is known as radiation therapy or radio immunotherapy.
