Hey all,
I'm writing a thesis about Tl-201 (Thallium-201) and I was wondering the following:
Is it correct to assume/state that Tl-201 is not used in radiotherapy, exclusively for radiodiagnostics? Because of the fact that Tl-201 only emits gamma -and X-rays? For therapy you would want a particle with more energy, like a beta particle, because that one doesn't just fly straight through the human body, like gamma and x-rays. For diagnostics it's perfect because you would want gamma and Xrays -- exactly what Tl-201 emits.
Hope some of you can help me because I really need it! Also, if I posted in the wrong sub, please let me know.
Cheers, Coolnow_
