Radiation Medicine

Radiation medicine is a field that uses controlled amounts of radiation to diagnose and treat health conditions, primarily cancer. In diagnosis, imaging techniques like X-rays and CT scans help doctors see inside the body. For treatment, radiation therapy targets cancer cells with high-energy rays to destroy or shrink tumors while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. It requires precise planning and advanced technology to ensure safe and effective outcomes. Radiation medicine combines physics, medicine, and technology to provide crucial healthcare services, improving diagnosis accuracy and offering effective treatments for various conditions.
