Which risk increases when nuclear medicine uses short-lived radioisotopes?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding organ dose is more likely because accurate timing is essential to minimize exposure as the radioisotope's activity rapidly decays via radioactive decay. Therefore, any miscalculation dramatically increases the administered radiation, rather than affecting other factors.
