Abstract
This chapter contains brief description of physical characteristics of the most important radioisotopes used in endocrinology: type of decays, energies, half-lives, critical organs, and selective internal dosimetry. Also, in this chapter are presented some examples of dose calculation of most frequent used radioisotopes in endocrinology.
