  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009890",
  "term": "Radioiodination",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The chemical process of introducing a radioactive isotope of iodine, such as iodine-125 or iodine-131, into a molecule. This labeling technique is commonly used to create radiotracers for biological and medical research. The resulting radiolabeled compounds are detectable at very low concentrations due to their radioactivity.",
