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 nuclear radiation is smallest?

Alpha radiation is the smallest type of nuclear radiation consisting of helium nuclei (2 protons and 2 neutrons). Due to its large size and positive charge, it penetrates materials poorly and is stopped by a sheet of paper or the outer layer of human skin.


How do you measure incident radiation?

Incident radiation can be measured using instruments such as a radiometer or a photodiode. These devices can quantify the intensity and wavelength of the radiation. The units typically used to measure incident radiation are watts per square meter (W/m^2).
