Microbeam radiation therapy has proven effective in animal studies against tumours in the brain, breast, skin and central nervous system.

Combining microbeam radiotherapy with targeted radiosensitizers could treat tumours while sparing normal brain tissues ...

And even more exotic processes arising from the generation of relativistic electrons within a target can be exploited to produce not just particle beams, but novel sources of X-ray radiation.

The Venture is equipped with a high brightness Iμs microfocus Cu source and large Photon III C14 X-Ray detector collecting in shutterless mode. The more intense x-ray beam and increased sensitivity of ...

What is X-Ray Scattering? X-ray scattering is a powerful analytical technique used to probe the structure and properties of materials at the nanoscale. It involves directing a beam of X-rays at a ...

Direct exposure to the X-ray beam can cause radiation damage and burns to the skin and underlying tissues, and in severe cases, may necessitate skin grafts or even amputation. Exposure to the eyes can ...

BMD techniques were originally based on single-photon absorptiometry, in which transmission of a scanning pencil beam, from a radionuclide source, through the patient was measured. The ...

Definition: X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) is a powerful analytical technique used to characterize the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal. By measuring the angles and intensities of diffracted beams ...
