Medical Aspect of Nuclear Chemistry
Nuclear chemistry is a growing subfield of chemistry. Although it has also has been used
for the destruction of humanity in history this paper discuss on how it has been helpful through
medical aspects. Nuclear chemistry is related with radioactivity, nuclear processes, and
properties. In order to build a nuclear process, radioactive elements are combined with nuclear
reactors. In order to identify which chemicals should be used for medical purpose, it is important
to study the absorption and radiation of certain chemicals in living organisms. Nuclear chemistry
is a vastly growing aspect of medicine and it is important to study the chemistry behind it in
order understand its significance …show more content…

Chemistry is used in the field of medicine to diagnose and treat diseases. The process is
usually conducted by radiographers can also be referred to as endoradiology. The process
involves radioactive drugs inserted into the patient through injection. Before the uses of nuclear
chemistry in medicine are discussed, it is vital to study the chemistry of nuclear and
radioactivity.
A nuclide consists of protons and neutrons in any configuration. Most nuclides are
unstable and spontaneously release energy. Sometime subatomic particles are also released in
order to reach the level of more stability. This process of attempt to go from unstable to stable
state is the key for radioactive decay. We call the unstable nuclides radionuclides. In the mid-
20th century medical radionuclide production highly used reactors, accelerators and cyclotrons.
Among the 1500 nuclides that are available, reactor-produced radionuclides are usually electron
rich. This property result for the nuclides to decay by β negative emission that was used for
cancer therapy. Some reactor-produced radionuclides were used for nuclear medicine imaging.
