Developing a dosimetry technique: Spectrally-integrated Cherenkov light intensity at the patient surface for a molecular radiation treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma, with radioisotope uptake ...

Cherenkov imaging is a valuable cancer treatment tool that can help doctors track and monitor radiation doses received by tissues during cancer therapy in real time. This imaging technique works by ...

Cherenkov radiation refers to the photon emission from the swift charged particle moves with the velocity greater than the phase velocity of light in the surrounding materials. Ever since its ...
