Description

Indium radioisotopes are isotopes of indium that are radioactive and are used in various medical applications, particularly in diagnostic imaging and targeted therapy. They emit radiation that can be detected by imaging equipment, allowing for the visualization of certain physiological processes in the body.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term may be used in contexts related to nuclear medicine and diagnostics. Common variants might include 'isótopos radiactivos de indio' (colloquial) or 'indio radiactivo' (regional), but it is essential to stick to the canonical term in formal contexts to avoid confusion.

Example Sentences

EN: Indium radioisotopes are commonly used in the diagnosis of certain types of cancer.

ES: Los radioisótopos de indio se utilizan comúnmente en el diagnóstico de ciertos tipos de cáncer.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'indium' with 'indio' in other contexts; mispronouncing 'radioisotopes' leading to misunderstanding; mixing up with non-radioactive isotopes.
