Difference between Alpha particle and Unsealed source radiotherapy

Alpha particle vs. Unsealed source radiotherapy

Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a helium-4 nucleus. Unsealed source radiotherapy (also known as unsealed source radionuclide therapy (RNT) or molecular radiotherapy) uses radioactive substances called radiopharmaceuticals to treat medical conditions, particularly cancer.

Similarities between Alpha particle and Unsealed source radiotherapy

Alpha particle and Unsealed source radiotherapy have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Actinium, Alpha decay, Beta particle, Cancer, Cyclotron, Gamma ray, Radioactive decay, Radium.

Actinium

Actinium is a chemical element with symbol Ac and atomic number 89.

Alpha decay

Alpha decay or α-decay is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and thereby transforms or 'decays' into an atom with a mass number that is reduced by four and an atomic number that is reduced by two.

Beta particle

A beta particle, also called beta ray or beta radiation, (symbol β) is a high-energy, high-speed electron or positron emitted by the radioactive decay of an atomic nucleus during the process of beta decay.

Cyclotron

A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator invented by Ernest O. Lawrence in 1929-1930 at the University of California, Berkeley, and patented in 1932.

Gamma ray

A gamma ray or gamma radiation (symbol γ or \gamma), is penetrating electromagnetic radiation arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei.

Radioactive decay

Radioactive decay (also known as nuclear decay or radioactivity) is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy (in terms of mass in its rest frame) by emitting radiation, such as an alpha particle, beta particle with neutrino or only a neutrino in the case of electron capture, gamma ray, or electron in the case of internal conversion.
