How are gamma rays used in radiotherapy?
Gamma rays are used in radiotherapy to target and kill cancer cells. The high-energy gamma rays are directed at the tumor site to destroy cancer cells and shrink the tumor. This targeted approach helps minimize damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
What type of radiation is used for radiotherapy?
Ionizing radiation is typically used for radiotherapy. This can include high-energy X-rays, gamma rays, and charged particles such as protons. These types of radiation can penetrate tissues to reach and destroy cancer cells.
What is one use of gamma rays?
One use of gamma rays is in cancer treatment, where they can be directed at cancer cells to destroy them.
Gamma rays used for?
Gamma rays are used in various applications such as cancer treatment (radiation therapy), sterilization of medical equipment, food preservation, and industrial imaging. They are also used in the detection of defects in materials and in security screening at airports.
What are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency called?
Gamma Rays

What does radiotherapy use?
Radiotherapy uses high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells by damaging their DNA. This helps shrink tumors and stop cancer cells from growing and dividing. Radiotherapy can be delivered externally (from a machine outside the body) or internally (placing radioactive materials directly into the tumor).
Does radiotherapy use neutron rays?
Yes
Does radiotherapy use x-rays?
Yes

What kind of gamma ray can penetrate solids?
Gamma rays are gamma rays are gamma rays.
How is radium treatment administered?
Radium was used in the past for the radiotherapy of some cancers, because radium is radioactive and emit gamma rays (also alpha and beta particles).
Why do we use gamma ray machine?
We use a gamma ray machine to find out where the gamma rays are and where they are pointed to. We also use these machines to study a gamma ray.
What inventions did Stephen Hawking use to discover that black holes have X-rays and gamma-rays in them?
Math...... Math...... and more Math...... You can use math to mathematically represent data such as X-Rays and Gamma Rays.
How do Satellites for observing X-rays and Gamma rays eg Chandra X-ray observatory work?
they use gamma rays... i think. top that peeps!
