are radiotracers potentially harmful, if they are emitting radiation inside the body?

[chemdog8]

@emerica2225 Yes! Anytime a material is emitting radiation, there is the potential to cause damage in tissues. However, the doses are usually very low, and most tracers emit gamma rays, which have a small probability of being absorbed by the body. The medical benefits of PET (positron emission tomography) scans, for example, almost always outweigh the risks from radiation exposure.
