Photon activation therapy and brachytherapy
Brachytherapy, 2009 In photon activation therapy (PAT), energy deposition at critical sites within a tumor can be increased by complexing the DNA with higher Z atoms, and provoking the emission of Auger electrons after inducing a photoelectric effect. This in vivo study evaluates the hypothesis using X-rays from palladium-103 seeds to excite the L-edge of platinum (Pt ...
