#OnThisDay in 1904, Pavel Cherenkov was born. He's the man who first discovered what this blue glow was surrounding a reactor core. Today it's called Cherenkov radiation — a phenomenon that happens when electrically charged particles, such as protons or electrons, travel faster than light in a clear medium like water. #nuclear #cleanenergy | U.S. Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy

DoseOptics is hoping to file for FDA market clearance next year. This video shows radiation dose as it is delivered, based on the Cheronkov effect radiation glow emitted from the patient and picked up by highly sensative image intensifier cameras synched with the dose delivery. This patient receives two doses, one for the upper body a
