Brachytherapy in the Management of Uveal Melanomas
Türk Oftalmoloji Dergisi, 2014 Uveal melanoma is the most common intraocular tumor in adults. Clinical studies have shown similar patient survival rates after treatment of medium-sized melanomas when comparing plaque brachytherapy with radioactive iodine-125 versus enucleation. This

Self-vapor cooled targets for production of I-123 at high current accelerators [PDF]
The basic elements of the vapor cooled target system are shown. This system can be operated as a heat pipe or as a conventional condenser. The choice of target fluid is based on the specific nuclear reaction chosen to produce Xe-123. The reaction using I-
