IGRT is the process of using frequent imaging, typically performed
in the treatment room prior to
radiation delivery, throughout a patient's course of

While cautioning that the new
radiation delivery system is still far from ready for use
in people, Abraham notes that P32 gives off high energy that can penetrate through 5 millimeters of human tissue, making it a good candidate to tackle colon cancer since colon cancer cells can often form large, thick tumors into which drugs may not penetrate very well.
In laboratory studies with normal and cancer cells, the new
radiation delivery system proved able to specifically target colon cancer cells, and what's left over is likely to be easily filtered out by the kidneys because the
delivery system's molecules are so small.

in the North Atlantic region to the
delivery of warmer seawater (heated by solar
radiation unimpeded by volcanic aerosols) by the Gulf Stream and other currents.
Clouds and condensation are the balancing outgoing
delivery mechanism of heat on this planet, and overwhelm the radiative effect with convection, and as a bonus also block incoming
radiation, especially
in the tropics, leading to a natural, self regulating thermostat effect.
