Question

In modern radiotherapy, superconducting wire coils are used to create magnetic fields that focus particle beams in order to deliver the maximum dose of ionizing radiation to a tumor site while minimizing the destruction of healthy tissue. For what type of radiation would this technique NOT be useful?

Answer 1

Answer:Gamma Photons

Explanation: Gamma photons are photons that are parts of the electromagnetic radiation,they are of a very short wave length of less than about 0.01nanometer.,which means they travel with a very high speed and a very high energy of about 100,00volts. Gamma photons can KILL HEALTHY AND LIVING CELLS, that is why it is mainly used to KILL CANCEROUS CELLS/TUMORS but in modern radiology the use of superconducting wire coils are not employed or used to create magnetic fields for Gamma photons.
