描述 | Californium-252 is a neutron emitter with a high specificactivity, making it useful in a variety of applications, the mostspectacular of which is in brachytherapy for cancer patients.Radiation oncology has exhausted nearly every option for treatingradioresistant tumors by photon brachytherapy, and therefore new typesof radiation need to be studied to improve the curability of cancer...Audience:. Californium brachytherapy is used in only a fewradiation therapy centers in the world, so the book will be highlyinstructive for radiation oncologists, medical physicists andradiobiologists. The nuclear techniques used in clinical applicationsmay also interest nuclear physicists and engineers. |
