Orthovoltage X-rays

Orthovoltage X-rays refer to a specific range of X-ray radiation used in medical applications, particularly in radiation therapy for cancer treatment. This type of X-ray operates at relatively low energy levels compared to other forms of X-ray and therapeutic radiation, such as megavoltage radiation. **Characteristics of Orthovoltage X-rays:** 1. **Energy Range:** Orthovoltage X-rays typically have energies ranging from about 100 to 300 kV (kilovolts).
