Atomic energy is proving its best use in the field of medical sciences. It is helping the doctors in diagnosing the diseases and in the treatment of the patients. Radio iodine is used in diagnosing all defects in thyroid glands. The new tools and instruments manufactured with the help of atomic energy are making medical science perfect. Radioactivity can also be used for curing brain tumors. This is done by inserting radioactive waves into the brain. Radio Therapy is also now used extensively for the treatment of cancer. Gama rays produced from atomic energy are used for sterilizing human bones. Modern medical science is exploring other uses of the atom and hopes that mankind can, in due course of time, control death and disease and can ensure long life for human beings in the world.
