Comparing absorbed doses and radiation risk of the α-emitting bone-seekers [223Ra]RaCl2 and [224Ra]RaCl2
[223Ra]RaCl2 and [224Ra]RaCl2 are bone seekers, emitting high LET, and short range (< 100 μm) alpha-particles. Both radionuclides show similar decay properties; the total alpha energies are comparable (223Ra: ≈28 MeV, 224Ra: ≈26 MeV). [224Ra]RaCl2 has been used from the mid-1940s until 1990 f...
