Californium-252 Isotope for 21st Century Radiotherapy
Springer (Verlag)
978-94-010-6433-0 (ISBN)
Audience: Californium brachytherapy is used in only a few radiation therapy centers in the world, so the book will be highly instructive for radiation oncologists, medical physicists and radiobiologists. The nuclear techniques used in clinical applications may also interest nuclear physicists and engineers.
