about medical tracers

我想問medical tracer應該係用beta定gamma???
如果用左gamma, 會唔會因為佢ge penetrating power太強, 令到個count rate detect不到個difference....
但beta又好似會入唔到人體....?

Medical tracers are mostly gamma emitters.

Because pure gamma emitters are few. Thus, some medical tracers are beta/gamma emitters, e.g. iodine-131 for thyroid uptake test. Pure gamma emitters generally are of short half-lives, e.g. technetium-99m, half-life 6 hours, flourine-18, half-life 110 mintes. They need to be produced on-site.

The detector used in detection gamma rays emitted from tracres in organs of the human body is a "gamma camera", which is a scintillation type of detecting instrumen using a large sodium-iodide crystal as the scintillator. The detection efficiency is large enough for the detection of highly penetrating gamma rays.
