Description
Radionuclide therapy is a form of targeted cancer therapy in
which specifically effective isotopes with a coordinated half-life
and radiation characteristics are brought directly to the site of
the tumour, where they can selectively combat the tumour.
The Laboratory for Ceramic Materials develops so-called targets,
which consist of ceramics of special elements suitable for
radiotherapy. The entire production process chain is being
optimized to such an extent that in the future a medical product
with maximum reliability can be manufactured.
