Radiation Therapy is therapeutic. This means that radiation is used to treat cancer and some other diseases. Although there is some overlap, Nuclear Medicine is primarily diagnostic in nature which means that radioactive isotopes are used to make a diagnosis.
Gamma rays are a type of radiation. Nuclear medicine techniques work through the detection of this kind of radiation injected into the body by adding a radioisotope to a certain drug.
The gamma wave is.

"No, radiation therapy is only used to treat people who have cancer. The radiation part of this kind of therapy is there to destroy off cancer cells. If someone used radiation therapy or anything else it would make them very ill, and more than likely be fatal to them since they would not have cancer, the radiation would get rid of their good healthy cells."
We often see gamma rays released in nuclear reactions
To be a radiation therapist or radiotherapist, one will need to have a degree in radiation therapy. Similarly, radiation therapists with a Master or Doctoral degree can also prescribe medication.

If you mean radioactive as in atomic or nuclear, not necessarily. Light is radiation, regardless of its color, but not usually radioactive in and of itself. Atomic or nuclear radiation has no color.However, by the strictest definition, anything that emits radiation of any kind, such as a blue light bulb emitting blue light (which is radiation), could be considered radioactive.

The most common type of radiation therapy is external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). In EBRT, high-energy X-rays or other types of radiation are delivered from outside the body to target cancer cells. This is in contrast to internal radiation therapy (brachytherapy), where a radioactive source is placed inside or very close to the tumor. In external beam radiation therapy: Linear Accelerator: The most widely used device for delivering external beam radiation is a linear accelerator. This machine generates high-energy X-rays or electrons that are directed at the tumor from various angles. The goal is to precisely target the cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT): IMRT is an advanced form of external beam radiation therapy that allows for more precise targeting of the tumor. It adjusts the intensity of the radiation beams at multiple angles, shaping the dose to conform to the three-dimensional shape of the tumor. Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT): IGRT involves the use of imaging technology (such as CT scans or X-rays) before and sometimes during the treatment to verify the position of the tumor. This helps ensure accurate targeting, especially if the tumor is subject to movement. Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) and Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS): SBRT delivers highly focused radiation to small tumors in the body over a few treatment sessions. SRS, on the other hand, is a similar technique used for tumors in the brain or central nervous system. Both SBRT and SRS aim to deliver high doses of radiation precisely to the tumor while sparing surrounding healthy tissues. External beam radiation therapy is employed for various types of cancer and is often part of a comprehensive treatment plan, which may include surgery, chemotherapy, or other modalities. The specific type of radiation therapy recommended depends on factors such as the type and location of the cancer, the size of the tumor, and the overall health of the patient. Treatment plans are developed and customized based on individual cases in collaboration with a multidisciplinary healthcare team.
it is a type of fear of taking any kind of medicine. actually it is an psychological disorder in which a patient regularly intake medicine due to anxiety or depression start avoiding the proper intake of medicine an after long trem frustation with medicine the pateint get afraid of even the name of medicine or drug therapy.
