Abstract

Of the various treatments for cancer, one of the most used over recent years has been radiation. Originally, the radiation used was x-rays as its properties, both physical and medical, have been well known for many years. The treatment is due to deposition of x-ray beam energy into the molecules in the tumor, destroying them and thus killing the tumor.
