⁹⁹mTcO₄--, auger-mediated thyroid stunning: dosimetric requirements and associated molecular events.
Low-energy Auger and conversion electrons deposit their energy in a very small volume (a few nm3) around the site of emission. From a radiotoxicological point of view the effects of low-energy electrons on normal tissues are largely unknown, understudied, and generally assumed to be negligible. In t...
