Figure 1: An exaggerated microscopic picture of the polarization force shift of the cyclotron frequency. We considered and eliminated many possible experimental artefacts as being the source of the ...

Introduction: Targeted Radionuclide Therapy is used for the treatment of tumors in nuclear medicine, while sparing healthy tissues. Its application to cancer treatment is expanding. In particular, ...

Theranostic radiopharmaceuticals are molecules that can safely carry radioactive isotopes inside targeted human tissues and help physicians get accurate images of tumours, allowing them to more ...

If you have ever had a PET scan at a hospital or heard about radiation treatment for cancer or brain tumours, there's a good chance a cyclotron was involved. But what is a cyclotron and how is it used ...

Physicist Dean B. Cowie, 28, was standing about two feet away from the new cyclotron at Carnegie Institution of Washington. The date was Dec. 31, 1943. Unexpectedly, the cyclotron worked on its first ...
