Medical uses of ionising radiation How can radiation be used to help people medically? Starter: What medical problems does ionising radiation cause and why?

Will you get an easy or a hard one?10 seconds to answer: QUESTION REVEAL Will you get an easy or a hard one?10 seconds to answer: 1 Which is the most penetrating radiation? Which radiation particle is 2 protons and 2 neutrons? What is a beta particle? What absorbs alpha radiation?: What is the half life of a radioactive element? What is an isotope?

Learning Objectives Explain how ionising radiation could be used to treat cancer, sterilise surgical instruments, sterilise food, and as a tracer.

Use of Barium - tracer

John is your patient. He’s pretty worried about having an enlarged thyroid gland. Your job is to recommend John a treatment plan for dealing with his condition.

The thyroid gland is located in the front of the neck, below the voice box.

Task. Go round the room to find information from medical workers, to help you make a decision about the best course of treatment.

Treatment Options: Chemotherapy Surgery Beta Particle Contamination Gamma ray Irradiation Read the information on these 4 treatments and decide which is the best course of action.

Chemotherapy John had very nasty side effects from the chemotherapy. He lost his hair and felt very ill. 3 years later John’s cancer came back. The next time he didn’t pull through.

Surgery John did not feel well after his surgery, but he soon recovered and all of the cancer was removed. John’s voice box was damaged and he has difficulty speaking because of his operation.

Radiation with gamma-rays John felt pretty sick, after the treatment. His throat was very sore, but at least the ice cream was soothing. John had to go back for several treatments and his cancer went into regression. He is still monitored regularly.

Radiation with Beta Particles John took Iodine tablets. He was not allowed to see his family and friends for a few days. The treatment cleared up John’s cancer, but he still has to be monitored just in case.

Task Complete the DART exercise.
