iodine131labeled
Iodine-131 labeled refers to a radioactive isotope of iodine, specifically Iodine-131 (131I), that has been incorporated into a molecule or substance. Iodine-131 is a radioisotope that emits beta particles and gamma rays, making it detectable and useful in various applications. When Iodine-131 is labeled onto a specific compound, it allows for the tracking and visualization of that compound within a biological system or for the targeted delivery of radiation.
In medical diagnostics, Iodine-131 labeled compounds are used in nuclear medicine imaging techniques such as SPECT
Therapeutic applications also exist for Iodine-131 labeled substances. For instance, radioactive iodine therapy, which utilizes Iodine-131,
