| primary radiation | An incident X-ray beam. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| 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) |
| internal radiation therapy | Radiation therapy in which radioactive material is placed in or near a tumour. (12 Dec 1998) |
| interstitial radiation | Radiation therapy in which a radioactive material is placed directly into a tumour. (12 Dec 1998) |
| interstitial radiation therapy | <oncology> The implantation of radioactive seeds directly into a tumour. (10 Jan 1998) |
