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.

they use gamma rays as they are less ionising then alpha or beta.

Is a toster a conduction convection or radiation?
A toaster uses radiation.
What are good types of radiation?
Radiation is neither good nor bad. All types of radiation can be useful for some purpose, but many can be harmful in overdose conditions.
Where is radiation used?
it has medical uses, academic and scientific applications, industrial uses and it's used in nuclear power plants. google it! click on the second link and that will give you a good source of information
What is a Radiation conductor?
Vacuum is a good radiation conductor, and on a good day, the sunshine feels warm. Air is less good, but still a fair conductor.
Is a good reflector of radiation a good emitter of radiation?
A good absorber of radiation is a good emitter. Radiation is the energy that that comes from a source and travels through space or through something. Some examples of radiation include light, heat and sound.
What are uses in medicine for radiation?
Some cancers are treated with radiation.
Is a toster a conduction convection or radiation?
A toaster uses radiation.
Good and bad effects of radiation on human health?
The good about radiation is it can stop the abnormally growing cells in cancer,and radiation will let us visuallized the entire human body. Disadvantage with radiation when in great amount can cause sterility.
An object is a good emitter of radiation if it is what?
An object is a good emitter of radiation if it is a good absorber of radiation.
Will an infrared port pick up bluetooth?
No, infrared port uses IR radiation and bluetooth uses radio frequency radiation.
Is there any radiation from a game controller?
Pfft. No. It uses Radio Signals. Not Radiation.. Radiation is from the Sun and Microwave Signals. :)
What does conduction and convection uses that radiation does not?
Matter.
What are some medical uses of radiation?
to detect radiation, a device such as Geiger- Muller tube is used
What are other helpful uses of radiation?
Other than what?
What uses heat energy?
Convection,conduction and radiation
What are the uses of UV radiation?

What are the medical uses of radiation?
To shrink cancerous tumors
