Kakushinex Nuclear Medicine Library

A focused collection of high-yield, technically accurate articles for Nuclear Medicine students and early-career technologists. No fluff—just the physics, biology, and safety concepts behind the tools we use every day.

As I build Kakushinex tools like the dose calculator and protocol assistant, the Library captures the “why” behind them: radiation dose models, LET, risk, shielding, and more.

5 Counterintuitive Radiation Truths Every Nuclear Medicine Student Should Know

Radiation doesn’t behave the way everyday intuition says it should. This flagship article walks through five counterintuitive truths about LET, dose models, risk assumptions, and shielding—and connects each one directly to Nuclear Medicine practice and board exam prep.
