Difference between Heavy metals and Radiation therapy

Heavy metals vs. Radiation therapy

Heavy metals are generally defined as metals with relatively high densities, atomic weights, or atomic numbers. Radiation therapy or radiotherapy, often abbreviated RT, RTx, or XRT, is therapy using ionizing radiation, generally as part of cancer treatment to control or kill malignant cells and normally delivered by a linear accelerator.

Similarities between Heavy metals and Radiation therapy

Heavy metals and Radiation therapy have 19 things in common (in Unionpedia): Birth defect, Boron, Carbon, Central nervous system, Chemotherapy, Cisplatin, DNA, Half-life, Linear particle accelerator, Medical imaging, Neon, Oxygen, Polonium, Radionuclide, Radium, Radon, Taylor & Francis, Vitamin B12, X-ray tube.

Linear particle accelerator

A linear particle accelerator (often shortened to linac) is a type of particle accelerator that accelerates charged subatomic particles or ions to a high speed by subjecting them to a series of oscillating electric potentials along a linear beamline.
