Positrons are used daily in
oncology
PET = Positron Emission

How does it work
Drug is labeled with positron
( +) emitting radionuclide.
Drug localizes in patient
according to metabolic
properties of that drug.
Trace (pico-molar) quantities of
drug are sufficient.
Radiation dose fairly small
(<1 rem = 0.01 Sv).

Cos’è Medipix
an electronic chip similar to the electronic imaging chip in a digital camera sensitive to xrays instead of
visible light.
it can create the first true colour images with x-rays. it permits us to move from
black and white x-ray images to full colour x-ray images.
can be read out very rapidly. allows the use of the chip for
colour x-ray digital movies or for fast colour x-ray CT scans

The 3 Cs of radiotherapy
Cheap: the least expensive
cancer treatment method (around 5% of total cost)
Cure: Good cure rate (30-
40%)
Conservative: generally non-invasive,
fewer side effects

The ideal treatment
eliminate all tumour cells without affecting normal cells
Physics :
100% of the dose on
target
0% of the dose in
surrounding healthy
tissues or critical organs
Biology :
differential effect
kill 100% of cancer cells
"protect" normal cells

RT is the least expensive cancer treatment method
RT is the most effective
There is no substitute for RT in the near future
The rate of patients treated with RT is increasing
30% of patients still fail locally after RT
