Abstract:
A program was started to create a new medical scientific field, which involves radiation oncology and nuclear medicine, utilizing advanced accelerator and ion beam technology. An in-air micro-PIXE analyzer system, which is among the most important technical aspects of the program, was upgraded to improve the accuracy of elemental mapping for samples with thickness variation in the scope of microbeam scanning. In order to address important bio-medical problems in cancer, the intracellular dynamics of trace elements according to the development mechanism of diseases were studied using this system. This paper outlines the program, showing correction of micro-PIXE elemental map by STIM analysis and the preliminary application results.
