Overcoming uncertainties in proton treatment planning

Proton beam therapy takes advantage of the physical properties of high energy protons as they slow down and stop within a patient. Contributing no further dose beyond their finite range, proton beams can spare more distal tissue and reduce the integral dose to the patient. But, for proton beam therapy, this strength is also its […]

Practical radiation protection in theragnostics

In 1942 Dr Saul Hertz used 131I radioiodine (RAI) to treat thyroid disease. Although theragnostics (also known as theranostics) was a term not invented at that time, Dr Hertz was using g-rays from RAI as a tracer and diagnostic biomarker, and its b particles for therapy, so he can be regarded as a pioneer. 131I […]
