Small doses of gamma rays are used for tumors to target and kill cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. By carefully controlling the radiation dose, it is possible to deliver enough radiation to destroy cancer cells without causing excessive harm to normal cells. This precision helps to optimize the treatment's effectiveness and reduce side effects.

What the best protection against gamma rays?
Lead (being a very dense metal) is generally the material used to guard against gamma rays--radiologists, who take your x-rays, stand behind a lead based shield, since they are exposed to small doses day after day (there is no danger to you). CBRNE: C
Why is Nuclear Medicine safe?
It is safe if used carefully and everyone involved knows just what they are doing. Perhaps you should divide into uses for tracing and for treatment. Trace use involves very small doses of a particular isotope that can then be traced through the body. Treatment would involve higher doses of radiation, for example to destroy tumours. The doctors and technicians involved need to calculate carefully how much radiation is necessary but not give too much.
Where to find gamma?
Emited by radioisotopes, sun, etc.
What are the human risks to gamma rays?
Because they are a form of ionizing radiation, gamma rays can cause serious damage when absorbed by living tissue e.g. cause mutation of DNA which leads to cancerous cells, and are therefore a health hazard.
Why does small doses of ionizing radiation over a long period of time cause less damage?
Small doses of ionizing radiation over a long period of time allow the body's cells to repair damage more effectively and adapt to the exposure. This process can activate protective mechanisms within cells that help to reduce the overall impact of radiation-induced damage.
Is xanax in small doses bad on your liver Also is Cymbalta or Ambien bad on your Liver?
none of these drugs are damaging to the liver in small doses. Dr. John
Can gamma rays cause cancer?
Yes Gamma Rays can cause cancer, even a small exposure to Gamma ray can cause the risk of cancer, X-Rays and Visible light can cause cancer but need huge amounts of it exposed to the body, Gamma is used in Nuclear bombs because of all the energy it has, so if you're near a Nuclear bomb when it sets off, Your most likely to catch cancer ;)
