Abstract
In this article, we discuss the role of radionuclide technologies among other nuclear methods used in medicine. We analyze the condition and perspectives of the development of nuclear technology with regard to using radionuclides in medicine, for brachytherapy in particular. We review the modern use of radionuclide facilities in medicine.
