What is bragg peak?
“”
Really?Light can stop on its own?
Yes, that’s right. There is a light that stops at a certain point and
releases all of its energy and dissapears.
As soon as the proton beam reaches the cancer tissues, It destructs the cancer tissues with maximum energy
and subsequently, it becomes completely annihilated.
Almost like a attack unit with a
special mission.
This “Bragg Peak”
is the difference between the existing X-ray.
The existing X-ray had limitations because in the process of applying radiation to the cancer tissues, it gave radiation damage
to the normal tissues and side effects were created.
However, with the proton beam, when it reaches the cancer tissues all of the energy is released on the spot, and it becomes
annihilated immediately.
Therefore, the normal tissues behind the cancer tissues are not exposed to any radiation
and there is no need to worry about side effects.
With the proton treatment, there are almost no problems associated with side effects and
treatment effects can be maximized.
