... 12 Radioisotopes are often used for medical applications. 131I is a β -emitter, and can be used to treat an overactive thyroid gland. When a small dose of 131I is swallowed, it is absorbed into the bloodstream. It is then concentrated in the thyroid gland, where it begins destroying the gland’s cell ...
