I would've expected a bunch of random people voluntarily stick their heads into a running particle accelerator by nowThe most bizarre side effect that occurred has to do with his face. Looking at Bugorski now, you’d see the right half of his face looks like a normal wrinkled old man, but the left half of his face looks as if it was frozen in time decades ago. Apparently Botox has got nothing on a particle accelerator’s proton beam for stopping wrinkles.
Protons through the brain refers to a type of radiation therapy where high-energy protons are targeted at a specific area of the brain to treat tumors or other conditions.
Traditional radiation therapy uses X-rays, which pass through the body and can damage healthy tissue along with the targeted area. Proton therapy, on the other hand, delivers a higher dose of radiation directly to the tumor with minimal damage to surrounding tissue.
Proton therapy has been shown to potentially have fewer side effects compared to traditional radiation therapy, as it can more precisely target the tumor without damaging nearby healthy tissue. It may also be more effective in treating certain types of brain tumors.
Proton therapy is generally considered safe for the brain when performed by trained professionals. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, and it is important to discuss these with your doctor before undergoing treatment.
Proton therapy is typically administered using a machine called a cyclotron, which accelerates protons to high speeds and directs them at the targeted area of the brain. The procedure is non-invasive and usually requires multiple sessions over the course of several weeks.
