Is it allowed to take Radioactive Isotope Scan during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Look after the radioactive drug used and choose that with the lowest half-life span. Extract breast-milk in advance and pool it into a refrigerator for some days. After test, keep breast pumping in order of maintaining milk production, dispose extracted milk for a time period that depends on radioisotope used and feed the baby with pooled milk. See below the information of this related group:
