INL security researchers discover cost-effective way to make new cancer medicine
IDAHO FALLS — A step beyond X-rays, nuclear medicine involves introducing small amounts of radioactive materials into tissues and organs to make detailed images for diagnosing and treating diseases, especially cancer. Unfortunately, the radioactive building blocks of these materials, called radioisotopes, are often difficult and expensive to produce. That’s especially true for scandium-47, a radioisotope […]
