Researchers at Dartmouth are investigating on a new phenomenon called Cherenkov radiation to see whether it can be used as a tool for measuring the radiation dose delivered to different tissues during radiotherapy. Cherenkov radiation is emitted when electrons are fired through water at a speed faster than the speed with which light travels in water. The team identified that the emitted Cherenkov radiation indicates the dose delivered by X-ray photons. ...
