Transcription: Scans. Radioisotope. Diagnostic procedures for assessing organs such as the liver, bone or brain. Radioactive tracers are introduced intravenously and if a malignant tumor or other foreign material is present, pictures of the organ will show abnormalities that may indicate the presence of a tumor. There is no significant risk with this small brief radiation exposure.
