What is the difference between therapeutic radiography and radiotherapy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Radiotherapy: or radiation therapy is the use of ionizing radiation to treat diseases(for example, some cancers). This is typically performed by a radiation oncologist. Therapeutic radiography is the same thing, but the term is not commonly used in the US.
