plutonium (Pu)
Medical devices; Radiology equipment
A heavy, man-made, radioactive metallic element. The most important isotope is pu-239, which has a half-life of 24,000 years. Pu-239 can be used in reactor fuel and is the primary isotope in weapons. ...
tritium
Medical devices; Radiology equipment
A radioactive isotope of the element hydrogen (chemical symbol h). See also deuterium.
polonium (Po)
Medical devices; Radiology equipment
A radioactive chemical element and a product of radium (ra) decay. Polonium is found in uranium (u) ores.
unstable nucleus
Medical devices; Radiology equipment
A nucleus that contains an uneven number of protons and neutrons and seeks to reach equilibrium between them through radioactive decay (i.e., the nucleus of a radioactive atom). See also stable ...
post-transfusion graft-vs.-host disease
Medical devices; Radiology equipment
Pt-gvhd occurs when donor lymphocytes in transfused blood attack recipient organs and tissues recognizing recipient hla and are not eliminated by host immunological defense.
uranium (U)
Medical devices; Radiology equipment
A naturally occurring radioactive element whose principal isotopes are uranium-238 (u-238) and uranium-235 (u-235). Natural uranium is a hard, silvery-white, shiny metallic ore that contains a minute ...
