1. The two modes of the Therac-25 are as follows: Accelerated electrons that work on shallow tissue and Photons that work on deep tissue. Accelerated electrons are used for superficial tumors because they have a limited penetration depth. Photons (X-rays) are used for deeper tumors as they can penetrate further into the tissue. The correct option is: Shallow, deep 2. The '25' in Therac-25 refers to the maximum energy of the X-ray beam it could produce. The correct option is: It emits 25 million electron volts Send me the next one 📸
