Radiation Beams as a Cure



This article is about cancer zapping Radiation beams and how they could soon target other Diseases or illnesses. Targeted high intensity radiation beams can now shrink early-stage tumors. With the addition of image guidance systems in recent years, these radio surgery lasers can now be used against not only brain tumors which is what they were intended for but for diseases all around the body. This gives the machine a new role and ability. This allowed researchers to push the beam technology, and now it is even more accurate, allowing physicians to attack cancerous cells. This accuracy helps to keep people who received this treatment from radiation overdose. This causes problems itself including the chance of severely damaging organs, or completely shutting them down. This also helps with lung cancer which requires the removal of tissues. This surgery also causes a lot of blood loss and includes a long recovery time. This can be prevented now with the new beam technology. Doctors are also hoping to use this new beam technology to target Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, and psychiatric disorders.

This radio surgery ionizes the atoms that make up a DNA chain using a beam of energetic particles. A treated cell won’t be able to reproduce though, which is why accuracy is important in trying to keep from accidentally hitting healthy, non-cancerous cells. A targeting system helps to target tumors on the lungs while they move due to breathing. This allows the radiation beams to move in rhythm with a patients breathing. This procedure is also painless so there is no need for anesthesia.

This article was put up to share the new breakthroughs in Cancer zapping radiation beams, and how the can now target other illnesses. This article may mean more to people who have had cancer, do have it, or now someone closely who has it. The fact that this beam technology is safer and more reliable to target only the cancerous cells, meaning less after math from operations and treatments, which to a lot of people is a very good thing, just knowing that the treatments are safer and more likely to target, locate and kill those bad cells.
