Radiation therapy

Skin Cancer Today, I am going to tell you about skin cancer. I chose this disease because I’m always warned about the effects of not wearing sunscreen or using a tanning bed. They always say “You could get skin cancer” or something to that nature so I decided to research this disease to see the causes myself. Skin cancer is caused when ultraviolet rays damage the skin cells. This can appear anywhere on the body but is most common on the skin. Those that have low pigmentation in the skin such as…

Furthermore, radiation during childhood gives patients a greater chance of developing cancer. “Medical Imaging Exposes People to Too Much Radiation”, states that kids are exposed to radiation, and the radiation has time to settle and develop into cancer which makes children more susceptible to cancer (Brownlee, Wainwright❡17). In a few years, the number of cancers of these children will start to appear, and the number will be excessive unless doctors lower the exposure of radiation to prevent…

BREAST CANCER DETECTION BY T-SHAPED SLOTTED RECTANGULAR MICROSTRIP PATCH ANTENNA Abstract This Paper shows the great achievement in the breast cancer detection by microwave imaging ,in this paper firstly the T-Shaped Slotted RMPA is designed for ISM band Application at 2.45 GHz and resonated at particular frequency by iterations on the simulation software and very low losses is shown on particular exact frequency is 32.2dB ,after that The Breast Phantom model with cancer tissues and RMPA…

In this procedure doctors can check the axillary lymph nodes that they are having cancer or not without actually removing them. Removing the axillary nodes in huge manner increases the risk of lymphedema so for reducing this kind of risk of lymphedema this SLNB is performed or done. in this procedure surgeon first finds and removes the lymph nodes in which there is high risk of developing a tumor this is performed by injecting a radioactive substance blue dye into the tumor to area around it or…

Exposure to ionizing radiation can happen internally or externally. Internal exposure may result by “inhalation, ingestion or through the bloodstream”. External exposure can transpire by breathing in “airborne radioactive Material”. Other external sources to ionizing radiation are cause by medical radiation through the imaging department. This medical procedures include x-rays for diagnosing and treatment, and even research. Gamma rays are also use by medical doctors to create radioactive…

the topic of how diagnostic radiology procedures do affect the risk of cancer later in life. The authors of this article compared lifetime data and statistics from the survivors of the Japanese atomic bombs to children who had been exposed to radiation from CT scans. This is how they began their studies in 2008. The researchers…

pinpoint and destroy any cancerous cells within the body by using a special equipment to send high doses of radiation ( MD Anderson Cancer Center). In fact, radiation can be given three different ways which are: • External radiation • Internal radiation • Systemic radiation However, these types of radiation are given by the type, size, and location of cancer within the body. What is more, radiation can also destroy normal cells by making small breaks in the DNA which can cause telomere…

radiographer should take the important responsible in radiation protection of the patient, member of the trauma team, and the radiographer himself or herself. Member of the trauma team cannot leave the patient in critical situation while imaging procedure are being performed. The unnecessary radiation exposure should be avoid and the trauma radiographer must unsure the team member are protected. In general radiography, common practices should minimal the radiation exposure include close…

(Radiological Dispersion Device, n.d.). Also, because of that, there is not one standard specific model for Radiological Dispersal Devices; each device has their own unique characteristics. Radiological Dispersal Devices do not “…release enough radiation to kill people or cause severe illness…” but “…[the] explosive itself [is] more harmful…[and all it] create[s is] fear and panic, contaminate property, and require potentially costly cleanup…” (Fact Sheet on Dirty Bombs , 2012). This is why…
