Cancer detection by radioisotopic scanning holds promise of a safe, rapid, economical screening procedure with low radiation exposure. Scannings of certain organs such as thyroid, brain, liver, and kidney are developing into cancer detection tools. Scannings of other organs are anticipated as new radioisotope-labeled compounds are developed.

At the present stage, the technique is somewhat tedious for patients and interpretation of scans is still subjective. Recent developments in equipment and radioisotopes give promise that scanning will be performed about as rapidly as X-rays. It is anticipated that the future development of radioisotope-labeled compounds will give specific scans for malignant tumors.
