Radium deposition in human brain tissue: A Geant4-DNA Monte Carlo toolkit study

Radium deposition in human brain tissue: A Geant4-DNA Monte Carlo toolkit study

NASA has encouraged studies on 226Ra deposition in the human brain to investigate the effects of exposure to alpha particles with high linear energy transfer, which could mimic some of the exposure astronauts face during space travel. However, this approach was criticized, noting that radium is a bo...
