  4. Sign FOR RADIATION

  5. Radiation Uses in Medicine • Radiation is used for diagnosis and treatment.

  6. Ionizing • Ionizing is the treatment of cancer using radiation.

  7. Different way radiation is given • By a machine, outside the body, emitting radio waves. • By putting something inside the body that will emit radio waves into the body.

  8. Radiation Uses in Cancer • ‘Curative Intent’- Intended to get rid of any cancer cells by damaging their DNA. • ‘Palliative Intent’- Intended to relieve pain suffered by patient but not to cure.
