    cellular structure. Ionizing radiation causes atoms and molecules to become ionized or excited. These excitations and ionizations can: * Produce free radicals. * Break chemical bonds. * Produce new chemical bonds and cross-linkage between macromolecules. * Damage molecules that regulate vital cell processes (e.g. DNA‚ RNA‚ proteins). The cell can repair certain levels of cell damage. At low doses‚ such as that received every day from background radiation‚ cellular damage is rapidly

    Blackbody radiation is the electro-magnetic radiation emerging from a small hole in a perfectly black box containing electromagnetic radiation at a high temperature. Scientists were interested in setting standards for the electric and thus measured the distribution of the total electromagnetic energy in a black box among the different wavelengths of the light. But not until Max Planck‚ at the turn of the century‚ was a single mathematical formula for the observed distribution of the energy among

    Brachytherapy (also known as internal radiation therapy) is the use of radioactive ‘seeds’ to help destroy cancerous cells. It is commonly used as a treatment for cervical‚ prostate‚ breast and skin cancer. How long the treatment will take will depend on where the tumor is and how large it is. Brachytherapy works from the inside of the body by placing the radioactive ‘seeds’ into the body next to the tumor. About 4/10 people with cancer have some type of radiation therapy as their treatment. History of

Ionizing radiation is a form of radiation that has enough energy to potentially cause damage to DNA and may elevate a person’s lifetime risk of developing cancer. CT‚ radiography‚ and fluoroscopy all work on the same basic principle: an X-ray beam is passed through the body where a portion of the X-rays are either absorbed or scattered
