JON CHASE:'The decay of these unstable elements is known as ionising radiation. 'There are three main types - alpha, beta or gamma. JON CHASE:'Gamma radiation is pure energy, 'but alpha and beta ...

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 ...

When beta radiation slows down it can produce X-rays ... apparently inhaling or ingesting radioactive glass dust can be a problem. Alpha particles can’t go very far through your skin.

Even ignoring the irony that thorium oxide is primarily an alpha (He +) emitter and thus not a ‘negative ion’ source (which would be beta decay, with e –), thorium oxide isn’t something ...

While beta-particle emitters like 177 Lu-DOTATATE ... The highly localized nature of alpha radiation means we can deliver potent treatment directly to tumour cells while minimizing collateral ...

Radioactivity is a part of our earth - it has existed all along. Naturally occurring radioactive materials are present in its crust, the floors and walls of our homes, schools, or offices and in the ...

TAT is a form of radiotherapy that involves drugs labeled with alpha particle-emitting radioisotopes. Compared to other forms of radioactive emissions (beta and gamma emissions), alpha particles ...
