Abstract:
The concept of theranostics uses radioisotopes of the same or chemically similar elements to label biological ligands in a way that allows the use of diagnostic and therapeutic radiation for a combined diagnosis and treatment regimen. For scandium, radioisotopes -43 and -44 can be used as diagnostic markers, while radioisotope scandium-47 can be used in the same configuration for targeted therapy. This work presents the latest achievements in the production and processing of radioisotopes and briefly characterizes solutions aimed at increasing the availability of these radioisotopes for resear

Introduction: The use of radioactive atoms in medicine is growing, particularly in nuclear medicine, where radiation is emitted from the body. Radiopharmaceuticals or radiotracers are artificial short-living radioisotopes labeled with special pharmaceuticals. There are around 1800 radioisotopes, but only around 200 are suitable for general applications. There are four methods for generating radioisotopes: reactor-producing, neutron activation, charged acceleration, and radioisotope generators. Cyclotrons are used to produce many other radioisotopes for medical applications. Physical and biomed

Abstract:
The history of radiation science began with Wilhelm Rontgen’s discovery of X-rays in 1895, followed closely by Henri Becquerel’s discovery of radioactivity in 1896. Subsequent research focused on developing radioisotope technology and exploring its applications in medical diagnosis and treatment. The first recorded use of radioisotopes for tumor treatment was by William Dune in Marie Curie’s laboratory. George D Heawse employed radioisotopes to study plant and animal physiology. Irene and Joliot Curie pioneered the production of artificial radioisotopes using alpha particle bombardment. Ernest

PLANTS COVERING INFLUENCE TO THE RADIOISOTOPES EXISTENCE OF 137Cs and 210Pbex IN THE SOIL. Cs-137 and Pbex-210 of environmental radioisotope content in the soil can be useful to estimate the rate of erosion/deposition in an area, by comparing the inventory value of Cs-137 or Pbex-210 in observed site with those in a stable reference site. Cs-137 and Pbex-210 stick very strongly at the surface of the soil (clay), so it can use as a tracer for the movement of soil. Plants very influence the existence of Cs-137 and Pbex-210 environmental radioisotopes as a cover. If without a plant cover, then th

Abstract:
Geochronologies derived from sediment cores in coastal locations are often used to infer event bed characteristics such as deposit thicknesses and accumulation rates. Such studies commonly use naturally occurring, short-lived radioisotopes, such as Beryllium-7 (7Be) and Thorium-234 (234Th), to study depositional and post-depositional processes. These radioisotope activities, however, are not generally represented in sediment transport models that characterize coastal flood and storm deposition with grain size patterns and deposit thicknesses.

Rheumatoid arthritis can manifest itself through synovitis, of which the knee is the common locale. The treatment using an intra-articular radioisotope injection has been applied in various countries. In this work, the dose of radioactive material absorbed in the joint is evaluated, taking into consideration the dose received in the articular cartilage and adjacencies using a three-dimensional voxel model representing the knee. The radioisotopes studied were Samarium-153 and Dysprosium-165. The results show that the synovial membrane receives 85 to 98% of the normalized dose taken from all vox

A fast, simple, and reliable method for estimating food consumption using radioisotopes is presented. The method gives both sensitive short-term and robust long-term estimates of food consumption for brown trout (Salmo trutta). The estimates of daily food rations were similar to those estimated from rates of gastric evacuation and laboratory experiments. The radioisotope method can be used to detect variations in ration size due to temperature, fish size, and food availability.
