About 99% of patients treated with Radiation Therapy (R/T) have malignancies. Approximately 60% of patients with cancer require Radiation Therapy. About 60% get R/T with the aim to cure. Lab 9. Radiation Measurement. We use different terms depending on whether:. The radiation is coming from a radioactive source. The radiation dose absorbed by a person . The risk that a person will suffer health effects from exposure to radiation. What is radiation?. Radiation is the giving off of high amounts of energy in the form of particles and/or waves.. The Electroscope. The Geiger Counter. Disposal of Radioactive Wastes. Radiation in Household Products. Radiation refers to the process that is concerned with the passage of energy between places through space. . It is the radiation generated by sun that . regulates the temperature of earth. . . CLASSIFICATION OF RADIATION: ionizing or non-ionizing types. . The cell life cycle The cell cycle G0 = Cell is resting G1 = RNA and proteins are made S = DNA is made G2 = Apparatus for mitosis is built M = Mitosis (the cell divides into 2 cells) G0 phase (restin . Radiation is the emission of energy in the form of waves or particles. Radiation that is so powerful that it can remove electrons from atoms is called ionizing.. Examples of types of ionizing radiation are x-rays from medical machines and gamma rays from radioactive substances. . •. Radiation biology . is the study of the action of ionizing radiation on living organisms . •The action is very complex, involving physics, chemistry, and biology . –Different types of ionizing radiation .
