RE: "Typical" radioisotopes in different institutions
A couple additions to Dave's excellent list:
Hospital: Gd-153 (in Quadramet, a replacement for Sr-89 palliative
bone therapy)
F-18 (a "long-half-life" positron emitter, as FDG)
Rad Therapy:Pd-103 (prostate implants, seeds)
Thanks for doing most of the work, Dave!
