where the radiation dose can be delivered more precisely to the tumour. In comparison to 3DCRT‚ the dose can be escalated so that the tumour will receive a higher dose and normal tissues will receive a lower dose. Because 3DCRT does not modulate as precisely to the tumour‚ the patient can be at risk of a large amount of normal tissue receiving a higher dose of radiation. This will result in a lot more toxicities for the patient and conclude that the tumour will receive a lesser dose of radiation. It is

SCIENTIFIC ADVANCEMENT IS A BOON OR BANE INTRODUCTION Science offers knowledge based on experiment and observation‚ but technologyis the total sum of the application of knowledge. This has made life easy and comfortablefor the user. A country said to be a developed country when it has many technicaladvancements. A small country like japan has succeeded to acquire this prestige becauseof its advancements and applications of technology at a high level. This century is the ageof Science. We cannot

radio waves‚ extremely low frequency waves etc. are all packed in the radiation that emanates from the sun. From time immemorial human race knew that the ultimate source of energy for the earth is from the sun. Modern science has established that this energy is quantifiable‚ for better understanding‚ as electromagnetic radiation‚ EMR. Radiations

light is best described by a wave model‚ but understanding emission and absorption requires a particle approach. The fundamental sources of all electromagnetic radiation are electric charges in accelerated motion. All bodies emit electromagnetic radiation as a result of thermal motion of their molecules; this radiation‚ called thermal radiation‚ is a mixture of different wavelengths. At sufficiently high temperatures‚ all matter emits enough visible light to be self-luminous; a very hot body appears

down scans are taken. These scans are taken by all angles and depending on the picture the size of the camera is also chosen. The camera can also move around the body of the patient. The machine doesn’t produce any sound or transmit any harmful radiations. What kind of diseases can be diagnosed by nuclear medicine? Nuclear medicine can diagnose a wide range of diseases. It can be used to diagnose abnormal lesions deep in the body without exploratory surgery. The procedure can also determine whether

Most of Europe receives additional radiation and even as far as North America‚ a significant rise in the daily intake of radiation can be noted. A 30% increase in child mortality was registered in May and June of 1986 in New Jersey‚ while southern Germany measured a 70% rise. 3 80-90% of the radiation dose received by the inhabitants of the affected areas was and is internal‚ due to the oral intake of contaminated

but one specific scientific advance that I will be discussing is the discovery of physics through X-rays and radiation‚ which was discovered by Wilhelm Röntgen. After he published a paper on his discovery of X-rays in 1895‚ there was great study and research done by physicists such as: Antonie Henri Becquerel‚ Marie Curie‚ and Ernest Rutherford on radioactivity and the formation of radiation through x-rays. Although Wilhelm was credited for the naming of x-rays and creating the first working x-ray
