Health

Boost irradiation should be delivered by electron beam or implantation to doses of 1,000 to 1,500 cGy. Higher doses produce a greater incidence of cosmetic impairment. (references)

For pelvic sidewall recurrences or other limited but not central pelvic recurrences, investigational therapy has employed combinations of surgery and intraoperative electron beam or brachytherapy. (references)

Some shielding is necessary to protect workers from the electron beam, but not the massive concrete walls required to stop gamma rays. The electrons can penetrate food only to a depth of three centimeters, or a little over an inch, so the food to be treated must be no thicker than that to be treated all the way through. (references)

Business

Irradiation using a source of Gamma radiation has been used as a treatment process for many years, and a newer form of irradiation employing an electron beam has the potential to treat clinical waste. (references)
