What is the branch of medicine that uses radionuclides in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases?

Nuclear medicine
Radiology
Oncology
Pathology

The correct answer is: Nuclear medicine

Nuclear medicine is the correct answer as it specifically uses radioactive substances to diagnose and treat diseases. Radiology, on the other hand, uses medical imaging techniques such as X-rays, MRI, and CT scans for diagnosis. Oncology is a branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, but it does not necessarily involve the use of radionuclides. Pathology is the study of diseases, but it does not involve the use of radionuclides either.
