Gamma-rays have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any other wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves are generated by radioactive atoms and in nuclear explosions. Gamma-rays can kill living cells, a fact which medicine uses to its advantage, using gamma-rays to kill cancerous cells.They have Dangerous effect so they are not used in MRI.Radio waves are used in MRI.
What else can I help you with?
What does X-ray therapy radiation treatment use?
It uses high energy, penetrating waves or particles such as x rays, gamma rays, proton rays, or neutron rays
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
Does chemotherapy use gamma rays?
Look out the window, I'm right outside..... JK
Does Radiation therapy use neutron rays?
Yes
Does Radiation therapy use proton rays?
Yes
Does Radiation therapy use x rays?
Yes
How do humans use gamma ray energy?
The typical use for human-generated gamma radiation is in medical procedures, such as the "gamma knife" cancer therapy treatments.
What everyday things use gamma rays?
Gamma rays are often used in radiation therapy for cancer treatment, in various medical imaging techniques such as PET scans, and in sterilization processes for food and medical equipment. They are also used in materials inspection, such as in the aerospace and automotive industries.
What are some everyday examples of each type of radiation?
Alpha radiation: Smoke detectors use alpha radiation to detect smoke particles in the air. Beta radiation: Medical imaging techniques like positron emission tomography (PET) scans use beta radiation to create detailed images of the body's tissues and organs. Gamma radiation: X-rays and gamma rays are forms of electromagnetic radiation used in medical imaging, such as X-ray scans and radiation therapy for cancer treatment.
What does cobalt therapy use?
It uses high energy, penetrating waves or particles such as x rays, gamma rays, proton rays, or neutron rays
What does electron beam therapy use?
Electron beam therapy uses high-energy electron beams to deliver radiation treatment to cancerous tumors. By targeting the tumor site with precise radiation doses, electron beam therapy can help destroy cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
Does radiotherapy use gamma rays?
Yes, radiotherapy can use gamma rays to target and destroy cancer cells. Gamma rays are a type of high-energy radiation that can penetrate deeply into tissues, making them effective for treating tumors located deep within the body.
