According to 2010 Step-By-Step Medical Coding - Carol J. Buck -
Radiation treatment is delivered in units called megaelectron volts (MeV).
A megaelectron volt is a unit of energy. The radiation energy delivered by the machine is measured in megaelectron volts; the energy that is deposited in the patient's tissue is measured in Gray (one Gray = 100 rads; 1 centigray [cGy] = 1 rad). A rad is a radiation-absorbed dose.
Where as dosimetry is the calculation of the radiation dose and placement. It is common to have several dosimetry or device changes during a treatment course.
i dont know. Why are you looking at this?
MeV
Neither. Radiation is energy, and not made of matter.
negative energy.
Radiation therapy primarily destroys cancer cells through a process called apoptosis, which is programmed cell death. When cancer cells are exposed to high-energy radiation, such as X-rays or gamma rays, it damages the DNA within the cells. This damage can lead to the activation of signaling pathways that trigger apoptosis, causing the cancer cells to die. Radiation therapy is designed to target and kill cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy surrounding tissues. By inducing apoptosis in cancer cells, radiation therapy aims to shrink tumors and reduce the spread of cancer throughout the body.
They are both an measure of chemical energy However, Calorie is an old-fashioned Imperial system of enertgy measure Joules in the modern S.I. system of energy measure. The converskion factor between them is 1 cal = 4.184 J
Energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation emitted from the Sun; but especially that part of this energy that is converted into thermal or electrical energy on Earth
Radiation treatment, or radiation therapy is a form of cancer treatment. It uses high doses of intense energy to kill the cancer cells.

Radiation and heat energy are manifestations of the same thing. Heat is a measure of kinetic energy. Radiation is the emanation of particles or energy that can interact with matter and, as such, change its kinetic energy and, thus, its heat.
No, radiation is not a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in an object. Radiation refers to the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or particles from a source. The energy of radiation can vary depending on the type and source, and it is not directly related to the average kinetic energy of particles in an object.
Radiation refers to the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves. The standard unit of radiation related to biologic hazard is Sievert and is denoted by Sv.
Calories are the standard unit.
The science dealing with X-rays and other high-energy radiation, especially the use of such radiation for the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

The sievert is a unit of radiation dose equivalent, used to measure the biological effect of ionizing radiation on living tissue. It takes into account the type of radiation, the energy of the radiation, and the specific tissues or organs affected. The sievert is the standard unit for measuring radiation doses in the International System of Units (SI).
by killing cancer cells with high-energy waves.
Radiation dose in terms of the amount of the biological effect caused by the amount of energy absorbed
Radiation treatment is a treatment to treat people with various different forms of cancer that uses high energy ray to destroy or slow down the growth of cancer cells and as you would expect the place to receive radiation treatment would be under the care of health care professional in a dedicated oncology ward or hospital
