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) | |
