Physics / Reacciones nucleares
English term or phrase: tracer
Estimados colegas:
Estoy trabajando con un texto que trata sobre las reacciones nucleares. El término "tracer" aparece varias veces y se menciona que este tracer sirve para detectar algunos problemas de salud. Me parece que se trata de un rastreador radiactivo. ¿Es rastreador la traducción correcta de tracer?

Muchas gracias,
Andrea

Explanation:
A mí me suena más español "indicador"
tracer = indicador radiactivo (Dicc. Politécnico Beigbeder)
También acepta "rastreador" y "trazador" (éste último para designar a la persona que traza). Yo no me fío del Beigbeder incondicionalmente, pero en este caso creo que usaría "indicador".
Un saludo
