Consider the following statements:
1. Radioisotopes are unstable isotopes which decay and give out radioactive emissions.
2. Radioisotopes detect leaks in underground pipeline.
3. Nuclear medicine is a branch of medicine that uses radiation to provide information about the function of specific organs of a patient or to treat disease.
Which of the statements given above are correct?

Which of the statements given above are correct?
The correct option is D 1,2 and 3
1. Radioisotopes are unstable isotopes which decay and give out
radioactive emissions.
2. Radioisotopes detect leaks in underground pipeline.
3. Nuclear medicine is a branch of medicine that uses radiation to
provide information about the function of specific organs of a patient or to
treat disease.
1 . Radioisotopes are unstable isotopes which decay and give out radioactive
emissions. : RADIOACTIVITY. Radioactive isotopes (also called radioisotopes)
have unstable nuclei. These isotopes disintegrate to form atoms with stable
nuclei by the release of subatomic particles and gamma rays (akin to X-rays).
... Gamma rays are released during both types of radioactive decay.the
statements given above are correct.
2. Radioisotopes detect leaks in underground pipeline : Beta Radiation
in Leak Detection. Leaks in underground pipelines can be detected by the
injection of a radioactive isotope. ... The use of a radioisotope that emits
beta radiation is important as beta radiations have the correct penetrating
power to travel through the soil to give a measureable reading above ground.
3.Nuclear medicine is a branch of medicine that uses radiation to
provide information about the function of
specific organs of a patient or to treat disease. : This is a branch of
medicine that uses radiation to provide information about a person's anatomy
and the functioning of specific organs. In most cases, the information enables
physicians to provide a quick, accurate diagnosis of conditions such as cancer,
heart disease, thyroid disorders and bone fractures.
