Both types of x-rays and gamma rays penetrate deeper than electrons, however the dose absorbed by the tissue decreases exponentially. For protons, as the depth increase so does the absorption. Unlike other types of particles, the peak for protons is very steep and only for a certain…

The themes and motifs discussed in my class,…

The position of the source is crucial for accurate treatment planning and delivery.

Each day before HDR treatment, the radiation therapist must utilize a departmental QA checklist. There are several components to this checklist. • Visual inspection of transfer…

a spectrum and each has the essential purpose of suppressing the other. The relationship between the two concepts is a ceaseless conflict that results to nothing but repetition. One notion leads to the other notion and the cycle perseveres as such. Ray Bradbury’s novel, Fahrenheit 451, depicts how these two diverse concepts can integrate into one another. Ultimately, throughout the novel, an incessant cycle between individuality and conformity is established— an individual ideology advances into…

The society is so consumed with…
