Abstract
Two scientific advances were compared and researched to find which one had a more significant
impact on human`s quality of life. The radiotherapy was found to play greater roles in the various
fields than laser. Precise and accurate dose of delivery is critically important in external beam
radiation therapy. The laser influences the environmental field and military field where it reduces the
pollutants and sniff bombs. Also, radiotherapies prevent
lung cancer and track the tumor.
Synthetically, laser and radiotherapy influences the large parts of medical industries. Further is needed
for…
1.0 Introduction
This scientific research reports the differences and similarities
of using radiation and air
laser which are both new tumor tracking technologies. These experiments will inspire the
development of medical field like radiation therapy. Radiation therapy is an intelligent
treatment, because it is good in curing cancer and improving one`s health. William B Collie
who discovers the new tumor-tracking technique by using radiotherapy received the Nobel
Prize. In addition, radiation can detect
that
bombs and intensify the military. This report expects
radiation boosts the technical skills of the medical field
and improve the urban
environment. The radiation therapy is a more remarkable industry than laser`s industries.
2.0 Methodology
For starters, I researched the data which is related to this experiment in Google sites and
paraphrased all things. After finding, I getg the list of the keywords that I found: air laser,
new tumor technology. Focusing on this viewpoint, I organize this report based on research.
Upon knowing the results, I compared the two factors by finding out their similarities and
differences which used the radiation for improving the environmental fields and medical

fields. Differences of the two topics are that they used different industries and purposes.
3.0 Findings
There are lots of similarities and differences between the two topics. This report illustrates all
aspects of the two scientific advances.
Figure 1.0
According to the figure 1.0, radiation and chemotherapy accounted for large proportion of
treating lung cancer. Namely, radiation therapy is the most significant factor among other
treatments.
Figure 1.1
In addition, laser is one of the most useful therapies for 3 years according to the figure 1.1.
Despite the graph a little bit descends, it is currently ascending in 2009. As mentioned
before, radiation therapy is also a famous treatment similar to laser. In modern society, laser

and radiation therapy are the remarkable treatment in the medical field.
Figure 1.2
However, there are some differences between laser treatment and radiation therapy. According
to the figure 1.3, radiation surgery has a limitation which is treating only small tumor and
depending on the tumor’s location. Namely, it probably cures the tumor according to the size
and location.

In addition, this chart shows
compared
which is the more effective for human life. As surgery is
with radiation, radiation therapy fell behind the outcomes: survival rates, risk of
cancer-specific death and one`s quality of life.
Figure 1.4
According to the figure 1.4, this figure proves the facts that air laser may sniff bombs and
pollutants from a distance. Air laser detects the radioactivity hitting the wall.
4.0 Discussion
After researching, the radiation therapy is better than the laser. This is because the former one
is more useful in fields than the latter. Nowadays, the laser and the radiation therapy have the
huge duties in many kinds of fields. For starters, it contributes to the development of medical
fields for human. Both types of therapies have been used to cure
eyes and cavities. According to the National Cancer Center,
lung cancer and treat
using radiation therapies
reported that it could reduce the dearth rates for 10 years. Due to the various therapies, our
quality of life is much more convenient and
will be interested in the medical industries. If
we comprehend what the laser and radiation therapies are for and try to figure it out , we will
foster many kinds of talented people who are interested in medical fields. In addition, high19/7/2012

intensity radiation shows

a successful strategy in reducing morbidity in cancer treatment.
Also, in environmental fields, we can protect the environment by using both types of
treatment. Especially, laser can detect bombs and intensify the military. It
helps in the
reinforcement of the military and provide the methods to search about space. Likewise, air
laser and radiation therapy bring
convenience to us. If I try to find more data and compare
both types of topics with diagrams or charts, there are much more clear facts because of the
various variables.
5.0 Conclusion
In conclusion, the radiotherapy is more useful than the laser treatment. Radiation has
many
advantages which solve our medical problems and improve our quality of life. In addition, it
gives convenience for us to develop our life such as it sniff
bombs, cure cancer and reduce
pollutants.
