PAKT IIRADIATION THERAPEUTICS INTRODUCTORY The treatment of disease by radiation naturally divides itself into : (1) Treatment by X-rays ; (2) Treatment by Radium. The physics of radium is briefly described in a separate section, and theproduction of X-rays is dealt with in the section on radiography. A separatesection of the book is devoted to the consideration of practical pointsin the use of X-rays and radium, but it will be well here to give a briefsummary of the general effects of radiations on tissues. It is assumed that the action is being produced by the radiations fromwhichever agent is being used, and that the particular effect is dependentupon the quality of the radiation, so that it is immaterial from which sourceit is derived.
