Scientists today announced that
radioactive isotopes which are used for
medical scans and
treatments suffer from a
global shortage. About Twenty million
medical scans are done each year which necessitate radioactive isotopes, so lack of these vital life-saving materials represents a true hazard to patient care and may cause significant elevation of healthcare costs. This fact was revealed at a symposium at one of the opening sessions of the 240th National Meeting of the
American Chemical Society.
