| indium | <chemistry> A rare metallic element, discovered in certain ores of zinc, by means of its characteristic spectrum of two indigo blue lines; hence, its name. In appearance it resembles zinc, being white or lead gray, soft, malleable and easily fusible, but in its chemical relation it resembles aluminium or gallium. Symbol In. Atomic weight.4. Origin: NL.

| indium-111 | A cyclotron-produced radionuclide with a half-life of 2.8049 days and with gamma ray emissions of 171.2 and 245.3 kiloelectron volts. In a chloride form, it is used as a bone marrow and tumour-localizing tracer; in a chelate form, as a cerebrospinal fluid tracer. Indium-111 chloride Indium-111 trichloride, Cl3In;used in electron microscopy to stain nucleic acids in thin tissue sections. (05 Mar 2000) |
| indium-113m | A radioactive isomer of 113In; it has a half-life of 1.658 hours; it has been used in cisternography and as a diagnostic aid in cardiac output. (05 Mar 2000) |
| indium radioisotopes | Unstable isotopes of indium that decay or disintegrate emitting radiation. In atoms with atomic weights 106-112, 113m, 114, and 116-124 are radioactive indium isotopes. (12 Dec 1998) |
