← ScienceWhich outcome reduces effectiveness when radioisotopes decay in brachytherapy seeds?
A)Decreased radiation emission✓
B)Isotope half-life extension
C)Seed material stiffening
D)Enhanced tumor localization
💡 Explanation
Radioisotope decay causes decreased radiation emission as unstable isotopes undergo transformation, therefore therapeutic dosage declines rather than half-life lengthening or tumor focus improvements, because transmutation reduces the amount of the original emitter.
