Descriptor radioterapia de alta energía
Entry term(s) radioterapia de megavoltios
Scope note: Radioterapia que emplea radiación ionizante de alta energía (megavoltios o mayor). Los tipos de radiación incluyen rayos gamma, producidos por un radioisótopo que está dentro de la unidad de teleterapia; rayos x, electrones, protones, partículas alfa (iones de helio) e iones pesados cargados, producidos por aceleración de partículas, y neutrones y pi-mesones (piones), producidos como partículas secundarias después del bombardeo de una diana con una partícula primaria.

Scope note: Radiotherapy using high-energy (megavolt or higher) ionizing radiation. Types of radiation include gamma rays, produced by a radioisotope within a teletherapy unit; x-rays, electrons, protons, alpha particles (helium ions) and heavy charged ions, produced by particle acceleration; and neutrons and pi-mesons (pions), produced as secondary particles following bombardment of a target with a primary particle.
