As a comment, the silver compound is no longer allowed for use at most hospitals (infection problems). The gold is used. Radioactive gold was also commonly used for some types of oral tumors and for some lymphomas. Gold seeds are sometimes used as radiographic markers implanted in the patient. This approach to radiographic marking, once common, has also gone the way of silver nitrate sticks and radioactive gold. Silver however is far from dead. Most radiography still employs film that is double sided and of course is very reliant on silver. The radiographic film industry is probably the main market for silver. Alas, digital radiology may send that the way of other precious metals in medicine.
