Bone seeker
text:
A bone seeker is an element, often a radioisotope, that tends to accumulate in the bones of humans and other animals when it is introduced into the body. For example, strontium and radium are chemically similar to calcium and can replace the calcium in bones. Plutonium is also a bone seeker, though the mechanism by which it accumulates in bone tissue is unknown. Radioactive bone seekers are particular health risks as they irradiate surrounding tissue, though this can be useful for radiotherapy –
