what type of radiation can detect pipes
Emitters of beta radiation or gamma radiation are used because these types of radiation readily pass out of the body, and they are less likely to be absorbed by cells than alpha radiation. Radioactive isotopes are also used in industry, to detect leaking pipes.lthough ionising radiation can cause cancer, high doses of gamma (or X-ray) radiation can target and kill cancerous cells. This is called radiotherapy. About 40% of people with cancer undergo radiotherapy as part of their treatment.
