| scattered radiation | Secondary radiation emitted from the interaction of X-rays with matter; generally lower in energy, with a directional distribution which depends on the energy of the incident radiation. Synonym: secondary radiation. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| scattering, radiation | The process in which energy is removed from a beam of light or other electromagnetic radiation and emitted without appreciable change in wavelength. May be considered as the change in direction of a particle or photon owing to a collision with another particle or system. (12 Dec 1998) |
| heterogeneous radiation | Radiation consisting of different frequencies, various energies, or a variety of particles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| x-radiation | Radiant energy from an X-ray tube. See: X-ray. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary radiation | Secondary radiation emitted from the interaction of X-rays with matter; generally lower in energy, with a directional distribution which depends on the energy of the incident radiation. Synonym: secondary radiation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| homogeneous radiation | Radiation consisting of a narrow band of frequencies, the same energy, or a single type of particle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pyramidal radiation | Corticospinal fibres passing from the cortex into the pyramid. Synonym: radiatio pyramidalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neutron radiation | An emission of neutrons from the nucleus of an atom by decay or fission. (05 Mar 2000) |
| synchrotron radiation | <physics> Electromagnetic energy radiated from a charged particle moving in a curved orbit (typically in a magnetic field), due to the acceleration required to change the direction of the particle's velocity. See: bremsstrahlung. Synonym: cyclotron radiation. (13 Jan 1998) |
| dose-response relationship, radiation | The relationship between the dose of administered radiation and the response of the organism or tissue to the radiation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| infrared radiation | Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between 750 nanometres and 1,000,000 nanometres (or 1 millimetre). This is more commonly known as heat energy. (09 Oct 1997) |
| interstitial radiation | Radiation therapy in which a radioactive material is placed directly into a tumour. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ionising radiation | <radiobiology> Radiation sufficiently energetic to dislodge electrons from an atom. Ionising radiation includes x and gamma radiation, electrons (beta radiation), alpha particles (helium nuclei) and heavier charge atomic nuclei. Neutrons ionise indirectly by colliding with atomic nuclei. Alpha and gamma radiation are far more effective at producing ionisation (and therefore more likely to cause tissue or cell damage) than beta radiation or neutrons. (16 Dec 1997) |
| ionizing radiation | Corpuscular (e.g., neutrons, electrons) or electromagnetic (e.g., gamma) radiation of sufficient energy to ionise the irradiated material. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occipitothalamic radiation | The massive, fanlike fibre system passing from the lateral geniculate body of the thalamus to the visual cortex (striate or calcarine cortex, area 17 of Brodmann); the fibres follow the retrolenticular and sublenticular limbs of the internal capsule into the corona radiata but they curve back along the lateral wall of the temporal and occipital horns of the lateral ventricle to the striate cortex on the medial surface and pole of the occipital lobe. Synonym: radiatio optica, geniculocalcarine radiation, geniculocalcarine tract, Gratiolet's fibres, Gratiolet's radiation, occipitothalamic radiation, Wernicke's radiation. (05 Mar 2000) |

| radiation therapy |
exposure to radiation. Radioactive material can be inserted into vagina (so called intracavitary radiation therapy or brachitherapy) or the source of radiation can be outside the body (external radiation therapy).

| radiation therapy |
The use of high-energy penetrating rays or subatomic particles to treat disease. Types of radiation include x-ray, electron beam, alpha and beta particles, and gamma rays. Radioactive substances include cobalt, radium, iridium, and cesium. (See also gamma rays, brachytherapy, teletherapy, and x-ray.)

| radiation therapy |
(ray-dee-AY-shun) Treatment with high-energy rays to kill cancer cells. External radiation therapy uses a machine located outside the body to aim high-energy rays at the cancer. Implant radiation is a treatment that places radioactive material in the breast in thin plastic tubes. Radiologist (ray-dee-AH-lo-jist) A doctor who specializes in creating and interpreting pictures of areas inside the body. The pictures are produced with X-rays, sound waves or other types of energy. ...
