radiationとirradiationの
意味の違いってご存知ですか？

 

非常によく似た単語なので、当然、意味も類似しているのですが、
実際の意味や使用方法にはそれなりの違いがあります。

その違いを調べてまとめてみました。

いまのところ、こう考えています。
radiationは単純に放射という意味で
irradiationは放射される対象物がある程度明確で
その対象物に向けて、光などを照射する場合に使用するのだと‥

irradiation　⇒　照射（レーザー脱毛などに使用）

radiation　⇒　放射（放射線治療などに使用）

Patients number situation of radiation treatment and future predictions

Radiation therapy, along with surgery and chemotherapy are the 3 key institutional approaches for cancer treatment. Radiation therapy cancer treatment plays an important role in the multidisciplinary treatment, reduces strain on the body with high curability. Contribute as palliative treatment to relieve symptoms, while sapping the radical cure patient. In the United States, cancer radiation treatment is applied to two-thirds of the patients reported *1.
On the other hand, in Japan, only 25 percent of new patients applied for *2.
This low Japanese rate is recognized as a structural problem of treatment; therefore, it became the country’s priority promotion of radiation treatment covered in the basic insurance plan. The large difference on applicable rate between Japan and USA is actually a potential for an upcoming development.

Radiation is energy that travels　‥

Radiation is energy that travels in the form of waves or particles and is part of our everyday environment. People are exposed to radiation from cosmic rays, as well as to radioactive materials found in the soil, water, food, air and also inside the body.

Human-made radiation sources are widely used in medicine, industry, and research. There are two types of radiation: ionizing and non-ionizing radiation.

Unconventional Uses of Laser Hair Removal: A Review

Abstract

Laser hair removal since its availability has been primarily used for aesthetic purposes. Over the years, it has emerged as an important therapeutic modality in various dermatological and surgical disorders, both as an adjuvant and as a monotherapy. Depending on the skin type, all laser hair removal systems have been used with good results and minimal complications. We hereby review the diverse range of unconventional indications of laser hair removal.

Food Irradiation: What You Need to Know

食品照射とは、食品にX線、ガンマ線や電子線などの放射線を照射することによって貯蔵期間の延長と殺菌・殺虫などを行う技術のことである。

Irradiation does not make foods radioactive, compromise nutritional quality, or noticeably change the taste, texture, or appearance of food. In fact, any changes made by irradiation are so minimal that it is not easy to tell if a food has been irradiated.

Food irradiation (the application of ionizing radiation to food) is a technology that improves the safety and extends the shelf life of foods by reducing or eliminating microorganisms and insects. Like pasteurizing milk and canning fruits and vegetables, irradiation can make food safer for the consumer. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for regulating the sources of radiation that are used to irradiate food. The FDA approves a source of radiation for use on foods only after it has determined that irradiating the food is safe.
