testing person. When I found out what the amount of radiation they were using and the safety involved I didn't walk I RAN from that field... Too many RAD'S and poor shielding.. Yes it was xraying metal but the dose to the operator was out of sight...
I can't imagine using this on people...
Toast anyone??? Years ago my Mom got radiation therapy for an ulcer on her leg. She mentioned that the doctor gave her an "erythema dose".. In medical lingo erythema is redding of the skin.. AKA they gave here enough radiation to make her skin red
and then stop...
A scientific wild ass GUESS... Her leg was discolored for life... They do it better now...
