For example, the half-life of Iodine 131 is eight days ... In our context it refers to "ionizing" radiation, which means that because such radiation passes through matter, it can cause it to become ...

We use this property of radiation to kill cancer cells as well as harmful bacteria and other micro-organisms. Alpha, beta and gamma radiations are all examples of ionising radiations. Alpha ...

They can be life-saving but radiation from the scans also contributes to cancer risk. The authors of a new study estimate ...
