Difference between Carcinogen and Thorotrast

Carcinogen vs. Thorotrast

A carcinogen is any substance, radionuclide, or radiation that promotes carcinogenesis, the formation of cancer. Thorotrast is a suspension containing particles of the radioactive compound thorium dioxide, ThO2, that was used as a radiocontrast agent in medical radiography in the 1930s and 1940s.

Similarities between Carcinogen and Thorotrast

Carcinogen and Thorotrast have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Leukemia, Radioactive decay, Radiocontrast agent, Suspension (chemistry).

Leukemia

Leukemia, also spelled leukaemia, is a group of cancers that usually begin in the bone marrow and result in high numbers of abnormal white blood cells.

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.

Radiocontrast agent

Radiocontrast agents are substances used to enhance the visibility of internal structures in X-ray-based imaging techniques such as computed tomography (contrast CT), projectional radiography, and fluoroscopy.
