Superconductivity plays a vital role in advanced medical diagnostic as well as in treatment of cancer. Smaller sized superconducting cyclotrons are developing as efficient techniques with carbon ions and protons for external beam therapy. This equipment further gives benefits of less cost and due to smaller size it is far easier to handle. Nowadays, superconductivity has been used commercially in numerous applications in medical sciences including low-temperature superconducting (LTS) materials and high field magnets in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), magnetic gene transfer, magnetic drug delivery system and cancer and internal hemorrhages detection. Almost all commercial medical systems based on superconductivity use LTS and the majority uses NbTi wires or superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) made of LTS material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
