Comments
HI Aashish,
Great presentation. How much longer does Tin stay in the treated tissue compared to others?
Very interesting research! I was also interested in learning why there are different radionuclide for different parts of the body? Is the energy emitted from Sn-117m strong enough to be applied to other joints as well?
What a fascinating subject! Is there any longitudinal data on long-term effects of this on the human body? I am confused, so is Tin-117 radioactive or non-radioactive? Why is it that certain isotopes work differently for different parts of the body?
