Re: Articles on Dose from Radioactive Stents

[CAMille231@aol.com]

In "International Journal of Radiation Oncology & Biological Physics" Vol. 41
No.1 (1998) pp207-216 is an article "National Radioactivity Standards for
Beta-Emitting Radionuclides Used in Intravascular Brachytherapy" by Coursey,
et al, and in the same volume pp127-133 is "Current Status of Radioactive
Stents for the Prevention of In-Stent Restenosis" by Carter and Fischell. 

Both give some interesting information on the physics side of this new
coronary treatment.
