Radioisotopes and Ionizding Radiations in Entomology

Atomic Radiations in the Decay of Medical Radioisotopes: A Physics Perspective

Auger electrons emitted in nuclear decay offer a unique tool to treat cancer cells at the scale of a DNA molecule. Over the last forty years many aspects of this promising research goal have been explored, however it is still not in the phase of serious clinical trials. In this paper, we review the physical processes of Auger emission in nuclear decay and present a new model being developed to ...

Radioisotopes in Medicine

Nuclear medicine uses radiation to provide diagnostic information about the functioning of a person's specific organs, or to treat them. Diagnostic procedures are now routine.. Radiotherapy can be used to treat some medical conditions, especially cancer, using radiation to weaken or destroy particular targeted cells. Millions of nuclear medicine procedures are performed each year, and demand fo...

3 Radioisotopes and Nanomedicine

Nanomedicine, the medical application of nanotechnology, is poised to make a major impact on the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. It is a relatively new branch of science that involves harnessing the unique properties of particles that are nanometers in scale (nanoparticles) for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Nanoparticles (NPs) can be engineered with precise sizes, shap...
