What are example of how gamma rays are used?
They are used to treat cancer
Gamma rays and x rays are useful when used in?
Well , Gamma rays and X rays are both harmful and destructive in nature , but have significant advantages. 1. Gamma rays can destroy cancer cells and can treat cancer patients. 2. X rays can be used to check the human body for fracture , to treat the patient.
What therapies are used to treat vulvar cancer?
Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation from x rays and gamma rays to kill the cancer cells.
What technology is used to diagnose and treat cancer?
X-Rays. They are an electromagnetic spectrum. Hope this answers your question.
Can gamma rays cause cancer?
Yes Gamma Rays can cause cancer, even a small exposure to Gamma ray can cause the risk of cancer, X-Rays and Visible light can cause cancer but need huge amounts of it exposed to the body, Gamma is used in Nuclear bombs because of all the energy it has, so if you're near a Nuclear bomb when it sets off, Your most likely to catch cancer ;)
Can this laser treat cancer?

What is one use of gamma rays?
Gamma rays are used to kill cancer cells.
What rays are used by doctors to treat cancer?
As R walder said for ''what element is used to treat cancer?'',Cobalt 60,a radioactive isotope emitting gamma rays. These extremely high frequency electromagnetic waves are focused as much a is possible to the centre of the cancerous tumors. Another treatment is to introduce a tiny radioactive isotope directly into the tumour in order to concentrate the radiation within the tumour and limit damage to healthy surrounding tissue.Therefore the answer is gamma rays. Thank you R walder.Read more: What_element_is_used_to_treat_cancer
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
Why are radioactive isotopes that emit gamma rays useful for treating some forms of cancer?
Radioactivity is indeed used to treat some types of cancer. Electron beams are used for surface cancers due to their lower energy. Proton beams and neutron beams are used to treat other hard to reach cancers. Carbon ion radiation is also sometimes used.
What elements used to treat cancer?
protons
Why is radiation used to treat cancer?
radiation
