Question
How can doctors best detect medical problems?
by using a radioactive isotope to kill unwanted cells and target diseased tissue
by measuring the half-life of an isotope found in the skin with high-energy gamma radiation from outside the body
by injecting a radioactive isotope that travels to the target tissue and measures the amount of radioactive decay
by administering a drug that targets replicating cells

The best method for doctors to detect medical problems among the options provided is:
**by injecting a radioactive isotope that travels to the target tissue and measures the amount of radioactive decay.**
This technique is used in various imaging modalities, such as PET scans (Positron Emission Tomography), where a radioactive tracer is injected into the body to help visualize and measure metabolic processes in tissues.
