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 ...

In comic books and movies, radiation often glows a bright green. In real life, though, the actual glow given off by nuclear ...

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, pictured after his final match for Spartak in 1994 "They're trying to poison us!" Fyodor Cherenkov screamed as he refused to eat the soup. His Spartak Moscow team-mates, alongside him in ...

The characteristic blue glow from a nuclear reactor is present in radiation therapy, too. Investigators from Dartmouth's Norris Cotton Cancer Center, led by Brian W. Pogue, PhD, and PhD candidates ...

The Cherenkov effect is a visual equivalent to the 'sonic boom' produced when aircraft travel faster than the speed of sound. It occurs when a particle carrying an electric charge travels through a ...

The complex parts of the blue light known as the Cherenkov Effect can be measured and used in dosimetry to make therapies safer and more effective, scientists report. The characteristic blue glow from ...

Between January and February 2020, the prototype Large-Sized Telescope (LST), the LST-1, observed the Crab Pulsar, the neutron star at the centre of the Crab Nebula. The telescope, which is being ...
