The source is precisely positioned such that the position of one of these objects corresponds to the on-axis spread-out Bragg peak of a depth–dose curve. One of these objects is scanned layer by layer in pencil-beam scanning, which like the related IMRT, requires knowledge of the 3D structure of these objects. The RF acceleration of electrons into tungsten generates X-rays on the order of 10 MeV (“M-E-V”) that are then fired at these objects. These objects are typically subject to total dosages of about 50 gray, split into fractions of 2 gray. The application of external beam radiation to these objects is the primary application of linear accelerators nowadays. Highly radiosensitive examples of these objects include seminomas and lymphomas. For 10 points, name these malignant masses of cells that are treated using radiotherapy. ■END■
ANSWER: tumors [or cancers; or malignant neoplasms; prompt on neoplasms; prompt on cells; prompt on human bodies; prompt on organs or any answers specifying any specific organ; prompt on tissue] (The first clue refers to the premise of proton therapy.)
