Indium-111 (In-111) is a radioactive isotope of indium used in nuclear medicine and radiopharmacology. It is used in a variety of imaging procedures, such as single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET). In-111 is also used in targeted radiotherapy, where it is bound to a monoclonal antibody or other targeting agent and used to deliver radiation to a specific area of the body. In-111 has a relatively short half-life of 2.8 days, which makes it ideal for use in nuclear medicine.
