Who would have thought that we would use nuclear substances for medical purposes? Well, we are many different ways. I will talk about a test called Indium Scan; this test requires the use of nuclear substances injected into the bloodstream through an IV. The amount of indium administered depends on the patient and what the doctor deems appropriate. What is Indian, you may ask? Indian is an element. It has a metal classification name. Indium takes its name from the Indigo line of the spectrum and is derived from the Latin word indicum. There are 23 different types of indium isotopes, however only two are natural. Indium is also found in zinc, iron and lead. Indium is used for many reasons, such as low melting point alloys and many other things. Indium has the symbol In. Indium is a group 13 and ranks 5th on the periodic table. Indium is a silvery-white, shiny metal. Indium does not react with water. Indium also finds application in nuclear engineering. Some dietary supplements contain indium. Indium is known to help slow aging and increase hormone production and absorption of certain nutrients. Do not take this supplement with food. In Britain, indium has been found in flat-screen televisions, tampons and computer monitors. In 2012 85% of all indium was used to produce indium tin oxide, used in LSD TV indium use is rapidly increasing, another involves the production of aircraft parts, contains agents that They prevent wear by preventing them from reacting in the air. Amazing!!What is an indium scan?An indium scan is a type of nuclear scan, where a radioactive substance called indium is injected into your body. This test is performed when the doctor believes there may be an active infection, a hidd... middle of paper... suggested based on the results of the WBC scan with indium malate. The treatment process will then be performed and discussed with the patient based on the test results. These treatments may vary depending on the patient's diagnosis. However, some patients may want a second opinion if they feel it is necessary. However, your decisions could be vital to your health in the event of an infection. You know your body and it is important to follow it carefully and not delay. Time matters and the longer you wait for treatment, the more serious the infection can become. It's definitely a good time to be alive these days, with all the technology and drugs we have. The medical field has definitely moved on from what it used to be. Who would have thought that Indian could and would be used for so many things and over such a broad spectrum? Interesting to say the least.
