Abstract
The present disclosure relates to polymeric materials that may be labeled with a radioisotope, to processes for producing the labeled polymeric material, and to methods of using the materials in analytical and therapeutic applications. Specifically, the disclosure relates to injectable and implantable microparticles, such as microspheres, which are associated with radioisotopes such that the microparticles are both therapeutic and detectable. The radioisotope-containing microparticles are useful for embolization and other therapeutic medical applications.
