A new paper published in EPJ Plus and authored by Eduardo De Paiva, from the Division of Medical Physics at the Institute of Radiation Protection and Dosimetry, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, pits the gold ...

Treating superficial skin tumours especially when they are located above cartilage or bone with beta radiation can help protect sensitive structures during the delivery of treatment. The use of ...

Radiation Research, Vol. 183, No. 3 (March 2015), pp. 279-290 (12 pages) Previous research has shown that beta radiation can induce ultraviolet (UV) photon emission in human keratinocyte cells.

Millicurie quantities of 14 C do not present a significant external exposure hazard because the low-energy betas emitted barely penetrate the outer skin layer. The critical organ for uptake of many 14 ...

A new article pits the gold standard simulation method used to calculate the interaction of the ionizing radiation with matter and estimate the radiation dose delivered to a target organ -- Monte ...
