Radiopharmaceuticals made up of two words Radio and Pharmaceutical Radio means emission of radiation and Pharmaceutical means dosageform which emmit the radiation. these radiation are used for diagnostic and treatment purpose. use of radiopharmaceuticals, often known as radioactive pharmaceuticals, has increased during the past few decades. Radioactive substances known as radioisotopes are the basis of radiopharmaceuticals. Recent years have seen the usage of radiopharmaceuticals for both medicinal and diagnostic applications. There are three different forms of radioactive decays, including alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma radiations, according to the decay of radioactive substances. Alpha particles have a large mass and charge, which prevents them from penetrating the skin and instead causes damage. They are made up of two protons and two neutrons. Beta particles can be used in therapy because they are less corrosive than alpha particles and have a lower mass and charge. They can also penetrate tissue more easily.Gamma radiations have no mass or charge so they can penetrate the deep tissue of organs so used in diagnosis by imaging using a gamma camera. The radiopharmaceuticals were established in the diagnostic purpose and treatment of several diseases as thyroid gland cancer, hyperthyroidism, bone pain metastasis This review article describes the radiation source used in healthcare system, diagnostic imaging technique, the diagnostics,therapeutic application as well as advantage and disadvantage of radiopharmaceuticals in healthcare system. The main aim of this review article is to various application of radiopharmaceuticals in healthcare system.
