Dianelys Garcia I would like to do a research on Radiation Therapy because that is what I am going to study next semester. I want to know things like jobs opportunities‚ further education‚ job duties‚ salary‚ and side effects. The fact that I got accepted into this program make me so happy‚ and I thanks God for this opportunity. I think that I can help other thru this career. Help people to feel better and help to treat cancer. A health issue that affects many people. Many of us had lost

The effect of mobile phone radiation on human health is the subject of recent interest and study‚ as a result of the enormous increase in mobile phone usage throughout the world (as of June 2009‚ there were more than 4.3 billion users worldwide). Mobile phones use electromagnetic in the microwave range. Other digital wireless systems‚ such as data communication networks‚ produce similar radiation. The WHO has classified mobile phone radiation on the IARC scale into Group 2B - possibly carcinogenic

International Journal of Medical and Biological Sciences 6 2012 Estimation of Electromagnetic Radiation from Base Station Antenna R. K. Singh Abstract—In the present paper‚ an observation of electromagnetic radiation from base station antennas installed for various communication purposes has been done on the basis of equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) calculations. For this purpose‚ a typical wireless communication site has been selected where GSM‚ CDMA‚ 3G/UMTS and WiMAX antennas are

Radiation Therapy What is radiation therapy? According to wikipedia Radiation therapy discovered in 1889 also known as radiotherapy‚ radiation oncology‚ or XRT‚ is the medical use of ionizing radiation as a part of cancer treatment to control malignant cells. Radiotherapy may be used for curative or adjuvant cancer treatment‚ with curative being the cure and adjuvant being additional treatment. Radiation therapy can also be used as palliative treatment‚ which is where a cure is not possible and

INTRODUCTION Radiation‚ flow of atomic and subatomic particles and of waves‚ such as those that characterize heat rays‚ light rays‚ and X rays. All matter is constantly bombarded with radiation of both types from cosmic and terrestrial sources. This article delineates the properties and behaviour of radiation and the matter with which it interacts and describes how energy is transferred from radiation to its surroundings. Considerable attention is devoted to the consequences of such an energy

insufficient physical exercise. However‚ not all known causes of cancer such as ionizing radiation are covered to this extent. How big of a role does ionizing radiation play in cancer deaths? Is it even worth noticing? First‚ in order to understand why ionizing radiation leads to cancer‚ an important distinction must be made between ionizing and nonionizing radiation. “Radiation is ionizing if the energy of the radiation suffices to remove an electron from an atom to create an ion. Conversely‚ if the energy

Nuclear Radiation There are many ways that the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still and the short story "There Will Come Soft Rains" are similar. "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury is a science fiction story that deals with nuclear radiation and what the future world would be like if there was an atomic bomb. This short story is a good example of what could happen in the future. The Day the Earth Stood Still is a movie that also has the same genre‚ that it is science fiction. It helps

Goetz‚ the Clinical Coordinator for Radiation Therapy at CCBC‚ came to Eastern Technical High School to speak with the Allied Health students about the Radiation Therapy program and profession. Radiation Therapists (RT) use high power x-rays to treat tumors and keloids. Therapy only treats the site of disease contrary to chemotherapy‚ which goes directly into the bloodstream and kills cells all over the body. The oncologist writes a prescription for radiation based on the patient’s stage of cancer
