Cherenkov radiation energy transfer from [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose to subphthalocyanine fluorophores by Lioret, Vivian, Decréau, Richard A.

“…Cherenkov radiation (CR) is an optical light that is emitted during the decay of beta-particle-emitting radionuclides, such as 18F, which is present in [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose, a well-known tracer used in positron emission tomography. …”

Liver Radioembolization: a New Chapter in Russian Oncology by A. D. Kaprin, S. A. Ivanov, V. V. Kucherov, A. P. Petrosyan, K. V. Mayorov, N. V. Markov, L. O. Petrov, G. A. Davydov, M. A. Sigov, N. K. Silantieva, T. P. Berezovskaya, A. Yu. Usacheva, D. B. Sanin

“…Annually, over 200 thousand patients with inoperable primary liver cancer and over 270 thousand patients with inoperable metastatic liver cancer are registered globally, for whom radioembolization is considered as the most suitable treatment method. 90Y is a pure beta emitter without its own gamma line, which is characterized by a small average particle path in the tissue of 2.5 mm (the maximum level is 11 mm), a maximum beta particle energy of 2.27 MeV (average energy of 0.937 MeV) and a half-life of 64.1 hours. …”
