Muons penetrate much further than X-rays, they do essentially zero damage, and they are provided for free by the cosmos.

MEDICAL SCIENCES Retraction for “PINK1 regulates histone H3 trimethylation and gene expression by interaction with the polycomb protein EED/WAIT1,” by Arnaud Berthier, Judit Jiménez-Sáinz, and Rafael Pulido, which appeared in issue 36, September 3, 2013, of Proc Natl Acad Sci USA (110:14729–14734; first published August 19, 2013; 10.1073/pnas.1216844110).
The authors wish to note the following: “We encountered a major problem in addressing the issue of duplication of panels in Fig. 4 and Figs. S2 and S3. We have been unable to find the original films from those experiments and new quantification for Fig. 4B renders different results from the published information. Without the original films we cannot rely on the certainty of the results shown in the paper and therefore we cannot maintain the conclusions. Accordingly, we request a retraction of the paper. We truly apologize to our colleagues for any detriment in their work caused by the conclusions from our paper.”
