The first principle is that sources of radiation are all capable of imparting kinetic energy into tissues, either in the form of ionized particles (alpha and beta radiation) or electromagnetic ...

The therapeutic effect is thought to be due to not only the beta radiation, but also to the occlusive effect on the hepatic arterial tree. The low level of external radiation, and the short half-life ...

Topline results from the COMPETE trial showed that ITM-11 met the study’s primary end point of PFS in inoperable, progressive ...

This gas is then converted into artificial diamonds under high pressure and temperature, creating a material capable of generating electricity through beta radiation. Despite its use of ...

The open window allows all types of radiation through, therefore showing exposure to Beta and Gamma radiations. Windows 2 and 3 are plastic of different thicknesses allowing the person examining ...

Our own bodies - muscles, bones, and tissue - contain naturally occurring radioactive elements. Man has always been exposed to natural radiation arising from the earth as well as from outside the ...

high energy electromagnetic radiation emitted from unstable nuclei. It is normally emitted alongside alpha or beta radiation. Gamma ray emission causes no change in the number of particles in the ...

Members of the EH&S radiation safety staff help to achieve the university mission by supporting education and research while limiting risk. This unit is capable of distinguishing between alpha and ...

What is a Survey Meter? A survey meter is a portable handheld, electronic instrument used to detect radiation. It is recommended that a "pancake" type Geiger Mueller (GM) probe be used for isotopes ...
