2 History of Radiological Science March 04, 2014

3 What is Radiation? Propagation of energy through matter or space in the form of –Particles (e -, β ±, proton, α, neutron, etc.) or –Photons (X-ray, γ-ray, synchrotron light, etc.) 6 MeV ee hνhν 6 MV

4 Types of Radiation Radiation Ionizing Non-ionizing Directly ionizing (charged particle) direct Coulomb interaction with orbital e - of atoms Indirectly ionizing (neutral particle) 1 st : release charged particle (photon > e -, e +, neutron > proton or heavier ions) 2 nd : direct Coulomb interaction between released charged particle and orbital e - of atoms heat, radio- or microwaves, or visible, infrared, or ultraviolet light

5 Energy Absorbed into Body Body temperature rise from 36.4 C° to 36.5 C° 0.1 C° × 4.184 J/ C°/g = 418.4 J/kg ≠ 418.4 Gy Sauna CT Scan One chest CT scan 30 mGy = 30 × 10 -3 J/kg = 0.03 J/kg = 0.03 Gy

6 What is Radioactivity? Radiation emissions as the result of the spontaneous transmutation of one element to another (element or state)

7 Discovery of Radiation On the evening of November 8, 1895

8 Discovery of Radioactivity February 26, 1896

9 X-ray quickly in clinical use A woman (50 yrs) with rec urrent breast cancer 18 daily 1-hour irradiation Imaging: 1896 – Mihajlo I. Pu pin in New York City Therapy: 1896- Emil H. Grubb é in Chicago

10 History of Radiation in Medicine

11 Radiotherapy Timeline 18951965 1980 1950 2000 100-400 keV X-rays Rotational Therapy Radium Brachytherapy Co-60 Teletherapy Low Energy LINAC Betatron Computer Tomography High Energy LINAC Ir-192, Cs-137 Brachytherapy Popular CT, MRI Scanners 3D RT Planning Accurate Dosimetry Computer remote afterloader PET-CT, MR-PET, Dual energy CT IMRT with MLC, Inverse Plans Image-Guided Radiotherapy Targeted therapy Proton and C-ion therapy

12 A Bit History Roentgen (1901): Discovery of X-rays Becquerel & Curie’s (1903): Discovery of radioactivity William Bragg (1915): Discovery of Bragg Peak Willem Einthoven (1924): Invention of Electrocardiogram E. O. Lawrence (1939): Invention of cyclotron Hounsfield & Cormack (1979): Invention of CT Lauterbur & Mansfield (2003): Invention of MRI
