A utilização de radionuclídeos que emitem partículas alfa ocorre desde a sua aprovação clínica em 2013, com diferentes graus de sucesso. Apesar da sua utilidade clínica, pouco se sabe sobre o mecanismo de ação das partículas alfa em condições clínicas e estudos precisos da sua d…
This volume of the series Springer Briefs in Space Life Sciences explains the physics and biology of radiation in space, defines various forms of cosmic radiation and their dosimetry, and presents a range of exposure scenarios. It also discusses the effects of radiation on human…
The expectation for continual improvements in the treatment of cancer has brought quality assurance in radiotherapy under scrutiny in recent years. After a cancer diagnosis a custom treatment plan is devised to meet the particular needs of the patient's condition based on their …
"This book explores the physics of CT dosimetry and provides practical guidance on best practice for medical researchers and practitioners. A rigorous description of the basic physics of CT dosimetry is presented and illustrates flaws of the current methodology. It will also con…
