Problem 8. (Radiopharmaceuticals) Which of the following is not a desired feature of a radiopharmaceutical? - Relatively short (hours) half-life - Relatively low energy radiation - Long biological half-life (it would stay in the body for a long time) - Ability to bind to specific biological tissue Strontium is chemically similar to calcium and can replace calcium in bones. The radiation from 90-Sr cells is produced and leads to serious health problems: it can damage the bone marrow where blood cells are produced.
