The first known study exploring optimal outpatient exam scheduling through a model algorithm was shown to yield shorter wait times for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for patients and reduced costs. A collaboration including experts at Lahey Hospital & Medical Center (LHMC) and at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College worked to identify sources of delays for MRI procedures at LHMC in order to develop a mathematical model to optimize scheduling.

Cancer tissue being bombarded by targeted alpha particles. The generator developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory holds uranium-230, which decays to thorium-226. Further decay produces short-lived daughter isotopes, emitting four more alpha particles resulting in a very high combined radiation dose to destroy cancer cells.
