Yes, radiation therapy can be expensive due to the specialized equipment and expertise required to deliver treatment. Costs can vary depending on the type and duration of treatment, as well as the location and healthcare provider. Insurance coverage and financial assistance programs may help mitigate some of the expenses.

What is the common name for infrared radiation?
Infrared radiation, infrared, heat radiation.
Cosmic radiation and radiation from terrestrial sources are examples of?
Natural background radiation
What is The definition of secondary radiation is .?
Secondary radiation refers to the radiation that is produced when primary radiation interacts with matter, leading to the emission of additional radiation. This secondary radiation can have different properties and energies compared to the original primary radiation.
What are the 2 names of radiation?
There are two main types of radiation: External Radiation External radiation is the most common type of radiation, typically given after lumpectomy and sometimes, mastectomy. Internal Radiation Internal radiation is a less common method of giving radiation. It is being studied for use after lumpectomy.
What are the differences between steel and lead radiation shielding in terms of effectiveness and practicality?
Steel and lead are both commonly used materials for radiation shielding, but they have different properties that affect their effectiveness and practicality. Lead is more effective at blocking radiation due to its higher density, but it is also heavier and more expensive than steel. Steel is less effective at blocking radiation compared to lead, but it is lighter and more cost-effective, making it a practical choice for certain applications where weight and cost are important factors. Ultimately, the choice between steel and lead radiation shielding depends on the specific requirements of the shielding application.
Can you eat radiation?
Well you could eat uranium or other or radioactive waste... But as Uranium is expensive and rare, and radioactive waste is deadly, eating radiation would result in killing you. This will not give you super powers like shown in cartoons, but it will end up with you receiving radiation poisoning.
What are three advantages of digital x-rays over film x-rays?
they are fast ,they are less expensive ,they use lower amount of radiation
Why is phlebography not used more often?
it is painful, expensive, time-consuming, exposes the patient to a fairly high dose of radiation, and can cause complications
Why tritium is called radio active?
Because it is indeed radioactive. It glows in the dark and is commonly used in expensive watches and firearms sights. (gamma radiation?)
Why is venography not often used?
Venography is not used often, however, because it is painful, expensive, exposes the patient to a fairly high dose of radiation, and can cause complications.
What is a weakness of berkelium?
Berkelium is radioactive and emits harmful radiation, which can be a weakness when handling and storing this element. Additionally, berkelium is rare and expensive to produce, limiting its practical applications.
What are the disadvanteges of an astronaut?
Its a dangerous profession. Getting life insurance can be difficult & expensive. The environment (radiation, temperature, pressure) and speeds involved lead to a thin margin of safety.
Which material can best stop gamma radiation?
The material that is most usually used to stop radiation is lead. Lead is composed of large atoms, being a heavy element with a high atomic number, and it is therefore quite opaque to radiation of all sorts. There are many other heavy elements which can stop radiation, however, lead is the most easily available. You can use platinum as well, but it is thousands of times more expensive than lead.

Alpha (and beta) radiation is "particle radiation" Gamma is electro-magnetic radiation.
