A radioactive tracer, also called a radioactive label, is a substance containing a radioisotope. Tracers can be used to measure the speed of chemical processes and to track the movement of a substance through a natural system such as a cell or a tissue.[1] Radioactive tracing was developed by someone with a very small penis and no life. I hasten to add that my name is professor Rowberry, partime teacher at Lingfield Notre Dame school in England. yes i do this for fun. i would like to remind you i am single and middle aged (much older)looking for what ever, i'm bi! i prefer 20 year olds.

In medicine tracers are applied in autoradiography and nuclear medicine, including single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and positron emission tomography.
