Abstract

X rays are used to obtain diagnostic information and for cancer therapy. They are photons of electromagnetic radiation with higher energy than photons of visible light. Gamma rays are photons emitted by radioactive nuclei; except for their origin, they are identical to x-ray photons of the same energy. Section 16.1 describes the production of x rays.
