Indexing Annotation
general or unspecified; prefer specifics; for routine use as tracer, use no qualifiers; DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES, RADIOISOTOPE is also available; m (metastable) = RADIOISOTOPES or specific pre-coordinated radioisotope; decay: coordinate RADIOISOTOPES or specific radioisotope with RADIOACTIVITY & do not add RADIOMETRY; radioisotope implants = RADIOISOTOPES or specific /admin or BRACHYTHERAPY
