Why does a kidney scanner use gamma radiation rather than beta or alpha radiation?
since gamma radiation can penetrate more they are used in kidney scanners
What are two types of test in which radiation is used to perform medical test?
There are 3 types of radiation used. The first is alpha,beta, and gamma order from weakest to strongest.
Why are alpha and gamma radiations used in americium 241?
The term "used" is not adequate. The radioactive decay of Am-241 is associated with the emission of alpha particles and gamma rays.
Can you give me the advantages available to the gamma rays to be used in the field of radiography compared with alpha particles and beta particles?
alpha is stopped by a sheet of paperbeta is stopped by a sheet of foil or a couple inches of other materialgamma penetrates long distances
Did madame Curie organize x ray services with radium?
Radium was used in the past for the treatment of some cancers and Marie Curie was a pioneer in this field. But radium don't emit x-rays; radium is a emitter of gamma, alpha and beta rays. The gamma radiation can destroy malign tumors.
Beta radiation used rather than alpha or gamma radiation in this paper thickness equipment?
beta radiation used in this paper thickness equipment because alpha and gamma are very strong radiation which can not be used for paper thickness equipment such as paper are used by every one and it could cause radiation if other nuclear radiation like alpha and gamma are used.
What are AphaGamma Beta rays?
Alpha, Beta, and Gamma rays are all types of radiating created and used in the splitting of an atom.
Why is alpha not used for checking welds?
Alpha will not penetrate metal. Neither will beta. You need gamma. Most weld inspectors use iridium.
Why does a kidney scanner use gamma radiation rather than beta or alpha radiation?
since gamma radiation can penetrate more they are used in kidney scanners
What are the least commonly used metals?
Radioactive metals like uranium, titanium which emit alpha, beta & gamma rays.
What forms of radiation are used medically?
There are three kinds of radiation useful to medical personnel: alpha, beta, and gamma radiation.
There are three major categories of interferons alpha beta and gamma interferons that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration FDA for treatment of a number of diseases?
The three major categories of interferons are alpha, beta, and gamma. These interferons have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of various diseases. Alpha interferons are used to treat conditions such as hepatitis B and C, while beta interferons are commonly prescribed for multiple sclerosis. Gamma interferon is primarily used for treating chronic granulomatous disease and certain types of infections.
What is the greek letter for Alpha?
Σ (capital) σ ς ( the third is only put when s is used at the end of a word)
What are two types of test in which radiation is used to perform medical test?
There are 3 types of radiation used. The first is alpha,beta, and gamma order from weakest to strongest.
Who coined the terms alpha beta and gamma rays?
Earnest Rutherford. The term is used in nuclear physics to describe the three types of radioactive particles. "Alpha Beta Gamma" are also the first three letters of the Greek alphabet, and is the name of an International Honor Society, founded in 1970.
Technetium-99m emits only gamma radiation why would this type of radiation be used in diagnostic imaging rather than an isotope that also emits beta or alpha radiation?
Because alpha and beta aren't strong enough to penetrate the skin or something
What symbols were used to represent Greek numbers?
The letters of the Greek alphabet, Alpha, Beta, Gamma etc., etc. both upper and lower cases, were used to represent numbers
