Invited

In comparison to protons, carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) offers a promising treatment alternative due to its prominent Bragg peak, reduced lateral scattering, and high linear energy transfer (LET). Due to these characteristics, a higher conformal dose deposition to the tumor volume is possible, while sparing as much healthy tissue as possible. In 1994, the National Institute of Radiologic...

Oral Session

Terbium is unique for medical applications since different Tb isotopes emit $\alpha$, $\beta^-$, $\beta^+$ or $\gamma$-radiation or conversion and Auger electrons respectively. In particular, the quadruplet of Tb isotopes $^{149}$Tb, $^{152}$Tb, $^{155}$Tb and $^{161}$Tb can cover together all diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in nuclear medicine [1]. Their identical chemical and...

Oral Session

Since its commissioning in December 2017, the CERN-MEDICIS facility has been providing non-conventional radioisotopes for research in nuclear medicine. Benefiting from decades of experience in the production of radioactive ion beams and in the mass separation process from the ISOLDE facility at CERN, CERN-MEDICIS quickly became a worldwide key player on the supply of of novel medical isotopes...
