Review of the anatomical basis for predicting plutonium alpha particle radiation induced osteogenic cancers

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.

Targeted radionuclide therapy [PDF]

Medical Physics, 2008
Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) seeks molecular and functional targets within patient tumor sites. A number of agents have been constructed and labeled with beta, alpha, and Auger emitters. Radionuclide carriers spanning a broad range of sizes; e.g., antibodies, liposomes, and constructs such as nanoparticles have been used in these studies. Uptake,

The Pacific Archaeology Radiocarbon Database

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper describes the Pacific Archaeology Radiocarbon Database (PARD), which includes radiocarbon data from archaeological sites excavated in an area commonly described as Near and Remote Oceania. The collated 14C database is available using ArcGIS Online, an online geospatial system with searchable fields and locational navigation.

Advances in radiopharmaceuticals for cancer radiotheranostics: CCK2R targeting as a paradigm for translational innovation

Cancer Communications, EarlyView.
Abstract Radiopharmaceuticals are reshaping the landscape of cancer therapy, offering a unique theranostic advantage that is becoming increasingly central to precision medicine. By labeling the same molecular scaffold with different radionuclides, these agents enable seamless integration of diagnostic imaging and targeted therapy.

Quantitative Imaging for Targeted Radionuclide Therapy Dosimetry - Technical Review

Theranostics, 2017
Targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) is a promising technique for cancer therapy. However, in order to deliver the required dose to the tumor, minimize potential toxicity in normal organs, as well as monitor therapeutic effects, it is important to assess ...

Electrochemical Behavior of Ytterbium Trichloride in Oxygenated Organic Solvents

ChemElectroChem, EarlyView.
Electrochemical reduction of ytterbium to the divalent state is investigated in three oxygenated solvents: dimethyl sulfoxide, N,N‐dimethyl formamide, and ethylene glycol. Small concentrations of water are found to have an effect on each system. Linear sweep voltammetry on a rotating disk electrode is used to determine kinetic parameters in each ...

Recovery of Liquid Organic Radioactive Waste Absorbed Into Soil by Extraction

CleanMat, EarlyView.
Radioactive organic liquid waste adsorbed in soil containing pure beta‐emitting radionuclides such as H‐3 must be radiologically characterized for subsequent management. For this purpose, a method for the recovery of radioactive scintillation liquids adsorbed in soil has been developed that simulates this type of waste.

Radionuclide angiocardiography in children

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1985
Clinical use of radiotracer techniques in pediatric cardiology is increasing. Three basic methods being employed are first pass radionuclide angiocardiography, gated blood pool scanning and myocardial perfusion scintigraphy. These methods are rapid, safe and accurate. They are minimally invasive and result in a low radiation dose to the patient.
