Cherenkov Radiation
- Recently, scientists have successfully developed a cost-effective method to detect cancer using Cherenkov radiation.
- Cherenkov radiation is a particular kind of radiation that is emitted by charged particles when they pass through some mediums.
- A good example of this kind of radiation is the characteristic blue glow of underwater nuclear reactors.
- The team of researchers developed a Cherenkov Luminescence Imaging (CLI) procedure where charged particles released by the system cause the target tissue (the tumour) to vibrate and stop vibrating in such a way that they emit light which can be captured by a ....
