A radioactive 9C-ion beam, therefore, is considered to be very useful in cancer radiation therapy. To explore the potential importance of radioactive 9C-ion beams in cancer therapy, radiobiological experiments using a 9C beam supplied by the secondary beam line (SBL) at the Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC), Japan were carried out.展开更多
