Abstract
General irradiation and local radionuclide therapy can be used in arthritis. Because of its great adverse effect, general irradiation is now less used. The mechanism, indication and method of the radiation synovectomy are reviewed. The clinical application and effects of various radionuclides and the method to reduce the adverse effect of the radiation synovectomy are also discussed.
