In vitro proof of concept studies of radiotoxicity from Auger electron-emitter thallium-201

Abstract Background Auger electron-emitting radionuclides have potential in targeted treatment of small tumors. Thallium-201 (201Tl), a gamma-emitting radionuclide used in myocardial perfusion scintigraphy, decays by electron capture, releasing around 37 Auger and Coster–Kronig electrons per decay....
