Gamma-rays have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any other wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves are generated by radioactive atoms and in nuclear explosions. Gamma-rays can kill living cells, a fact which medicine uses to its advantage, using gamma-rays to kill cancerous cells.They have Dangerous effect so they are not used in MRI.Radio waves are used in MRI.

What does X-ray therapy radiation treatment use?
It uses high energy, penetrating waves or particles such as x rays, gamma rays, proton rays, or neutron rays
What is the use of an gamma ray?
It can be used in radiation therapy to treat cancer as the high-energy gamma rays can kill tumour cells. Source: I am a Nuclear Physicist working in MIT

Good uses of Radiation?
Radiation can come from a machine outside the body (external-beam radiation therapy) or from radioactive material placed in the body near cancer cells (internal radiation therapy, more commonly called brachytherapy). Systemic radiation therapy uses a radioactive substance, given by mouth or into a vein, that travels in the blood to tissues throughout the body. radiations are emitted by a radiator,and in some cases a receiver is placed after the body and radiator.
Stella is biology student who is doing a project about the use of radiation in medicine. which radiation bands are used in medicine?
Radiations includes iodine-121,hard and soft x-rays and gamma rays.
We use radiation to extend the shelf life of food by destroying organisms that cause spoilage. Do we use neutrons electrons gamma rays or alpha particles?
We use gamma rays to irradiate food and kill organisms on it that might cause it to spoil quickly.
