Today radium has only some applications in research laboratories, for example for the preparation of radon standard solutions, in neutron sources of the type Ra-Be, etc.

Radium was used in the past for the radiotherapy of some cancers; radiations can destroy malign tumors. But now radium was replaced by 60Co, 137Cs and many other radioactive isotopes.
