Understand the Problem
The question appears to be a multiple-choice quiz related to radiotherapy, specifically focusing on gamma energies and half-lives of various isotopes and treatment methods. It requires identification of correct statements from given options.
Answer
(a) (i), (b) (iii), (c) (i), (d) (ii), (e) (iii), (f) (i), (g) (i), (h) (iv), (i) (i), (j) (ii), (k) (iii), (l) (i).
The final answer is: (a) (i), (b) (iii), (c) (i), (d) (ii), (e) (iii), (f) (i), (g) (i), (h) (iv), (i) (i), (j) (ii), (k) (iii), (l) (i), (m) none provided.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is: (a) (i), (b) (iii), (c) (i), (d) (ii), (e) (iii), (f) (i), (g) (i), (h) (iv), (i) (i), (j) (ii), (k) (iii), (l) (i), (m) none provided.
More Information
Cobalt-60 is widely used in radiotherapy due to its relatively high energy, and Cesium-137 has a half-life of about 30 years making it suitable for long-term applications.
Tips
Common mistakes include confusing the average gamma energies or the half-lives of isotopes.
