X-rays used for radiotherapy are in the MegaVoltage range of energies
When radiographic images are produced during portal imaging using megavoltages,
Compton interactions predominate and very low contrast images are produced
Linear accelerators are capable of:
a. 360-degree rotation.
b. x-ray and electron therapy.
c. measuring dose rate in real time.
d. all of the above All of the above
Proton radiotherapy is particularly beneficial because of:
a. protons depositing their total energy within the target tissue.
b. the positive charge of protons.
c. the minimal scatter radiation produced with protons.
d. all of the above All of the above
