- PM inaugurated National Hadron Beam Therapy Facility in Navi Mumbai.
- Hadron Beam Therapy is an advanced and highly precise radiation treatment for tumors.
| The idea of using protons for cancer treatment was first proposed in 1946 by the physicist Robert Wilson
|
- In this, the irradiating beams are made of charged particles (protons and other ions, such as carbon).
- Charged particles can penetrate the tissues with little diffusion and deposit the maximum energy just before stopping allowing specific regions to be irradiated.
- With the use of hadrons, the tumor can be irradiated while the damage to healthy tissues is less than X-rays.
- The peaked shape of the hadron energy deposition is called Bragg peak.
