Answer:

Isotopes such as fluorine-18, gallium-67, krypton-81m, rubidium-82, nitrogen-13, technetium-99m, indium-111, iodine-123.

Explanation:

For diagnostics, medical imaging radiopharmaceuticals are used intravenously or orally. After which external detectors catch the images from the radiation that is emitted from these isotopes also used in MRI and CT scanners.

Iodine 123 is used for examining the whole body part. In developed countries about 26 % of the population use 2%/ year of these medications for the therapies, and these nuclear medicines were developed in the 1950s by physicians who emphasized there use of Iodine 131 for the treatment of thyroid disease.

These isotopes consist of molybdenum-99, which has half-life 66 hours,

Olenka [21]

Answer is hypertonic.

The ability of an extracellular solution to make water move into or out of a cell by osmosis is known as its tonicity. Tonicity is concern for all living things, especially in in organisms lacking cell wall, Paramecium is one such protozoan. It has specialized structures called contractile vacuoles. A contractile vacuole collects excess water from the cell and release it out, keeping the cell from lysing as it takes on water from extracellular environment which hypotonic (a lower osmolarity than the cell’s cytoplasm) as compared to hypertonic environment inside Paramecium.
