NRC regulates the use of radioactive material used in medicine by issuing licenses to medical facilities and users. Research using radioactive materials on human subjects may only be performed if the licensee has fulfilled the requirements outlined in 10 CFR Part 35, which include completing a minimum of 700 hours of training.

Materials science: An interdisciplinary field comprising applied physics, chemistry, and engineering that studies the physical properties of matter and its applications. Microfluidics: A multidisciplinary field that studies how fluids behave at microliter and nanoliter volumes and the design of systems in which small volumes of fluids will be used to provide automated sample pro cessing, synthesis, separation, and measurements in devices commonly described by the term "lab-on-a-chip." Minimal residual disease: Presence of residual malignant cells, even when few cancer cells can be detected by conventional means (i.e., at sub clinical level)

Targeted radionuclide therapy: A form of treatment that delivers therapeu tic doses of radiation to malignant tumors, for example, by administra tion of a radiolabeled molecule designed to seek out certain cells. Targetry: Study of cyclotron target composition and structure to optimize the production of a desired nuclide from the "target" and minimize impurities made through nuclear reactions.
