Key beta emitters used in medical imaging, diagnostic and treatment procedures ... Beta radiation can cause both acute and chronic health effects. Acute exposures are uncommon. Contact with a strong beta source from an abandoned industrial instrument is the type of circumstance in which acute exposure could occur.

Endoluminal Beta-Radiation Therapy for the Prevention of Coronary Restenosis after Balloon Angioplast ... The initial analysis of the Beta Energy Restenosis Trial (BERT), which used a noncentered strontium-90–yttrium-90 source, found a 15 percent rate of restenosis when the angiographic analysis was limited to the...

The findings address a key concern regarding beta radiation used for prevention of restenosis following intervention; namely, that the penetration of intracoronary beta radiation through stent struts won't be sufficient to achieve the same results seen when applied following balloon angioplasty.
