Strontium has physical and chemical properties similar to those of its two vertical neighbors in the periodic table, calcium and barium. (wikipedia.org)
Radioactive isotope1
A radionuclide ( radioactive nuclide , radioisotope or radioactive isotope ) is a nuclide that has excess nuclear energy, making it unstable. (wikipedia.org)
The decaying nucleus is called the parent radionuclide (or parent radioisotope [note 1] ), and the process produces at least one daughter nuclide . (knowpia.com)
Naturally1
Well-known examples are uranium and thorium , but also included are naturally occurring long-lived radioisotopes, such as potassium-40 . (knowpia.com)
Nuclear1
Different types of ceramics and glass have been extensively investigated due to their application in brachytherapy, radiotherapy, nuclear medicine diagnosis, radioisotope power systems, radiation processing of food, geological and archaeological dating methods. (encyclopedia.pub)
Group1
Strontium is a divalent silvery metal with a pale yellow tint whose properties are mostly intermediate between and similar to those of its group neighbors calcium and barium. (wikipedia.org)
Power1
It is a heat source in radioisotope thermoelectric generators , which are used to power some spacecraft . (marefa.org)
Metastatic disease3
Xofigo is an alpha particle-emitting radioactive therapeutic agent indicated for the treatment of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer, symptomatic bone metastases and no known visceral metastatic disease. (nih.gov)
Xofigo is indicated for the treatment of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer, symptomatic bone metastases and no known visceral metastatic disease. (nih.gov)
This test looks at bone destruction due to fractures and/or metastatic disease. (cancercenterofkansas.com)
Calcium7
Strontium has physical and chemical properties similar to those of its two vertical neighbors in the periodic table, calcium and barium. (wikipedia.org)
Strontium is a divalent silvery metal with a pale yellow tint whose properties are mostly intermediate between and similar to those of its group neighbors calcium and barium. (wikipedia.org)
barium continues this downward trend in the melting point (727 °C), but not in the boiling point (1900 °C). The density of strontium (2.64 g/cm3) is similarly intermediate between those of calcium (1.54 g/cm3) and barium (3.594 g/cm3). (wikipedia.org)
Strontium is intermediate between calcium and barium in its reactivity toward water, with which it reacts on contact to produce strontium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. (wikipedia.org)
The large size of strontium and barium plays a significant part in stabilising strontium complexes with polydentate macrocyclic ligands such as crown ethers: for example, while 18-crown-6 forms relatively weak complexes with calcium and the alkali metals, its strontium and barium complexes are much stronger.

This test measures the calcium content of the bones to see if you are at risk for osteoporosis or a fracture. (cancercenterofkansas.com)
Content1
Although a more comprehensive picture of the radioisotope content of STPs has emerged from this study, epidemiological evidence suggests that the levels of radionuclides measured in this study appear unlikely to present significant risks to STP users. (biomedcentral.com)
Blood2
Bone Marrow Suppression: Measure blood counts prior to treatment initiation and before every dose of Xofigo. (nih.gov)
The scan can show all of the organs, bones, blood vessels, tumors and much more. (cancercenterofkansas.com)
Treatment1
Ru-104 is used for the production of the radioisotope Rh-105 which has been suggested for the treatment of bone pain. (webelements.com)
