However, the term âmotor vehicleâ does not include a motor vehicle as defined in s. 627.732(3) when the owner of such vehicle has complied with the requirements of ss. 627.730-627.7405, inclusive, unless the provisions of s. 324.051 apply; and, in such case, the applicable proof of insurance provisions of s. 320.02 apply.
Some examples of palliative radiation therapy are: 1  Radiation given to the brain to shrink tumors formed from cancer cells that have spread to the brain from another part of the body (metastases). 2  Radiation given to shrink a tumor that is pressing on the spine or growing within a bone, which can cause pain.
Generally, ionizing radiation are high energy waves and are all harmful, even in low amounts, such as gamma rays, x-rays, and ultraviolet waves. These types of radiation cause ionization of atoms and molecules, leading to destruction of the molecules in cells and DNA. If DNA is destroyed in a cell, that cell can be cancerous. Lower energy waves, such as visible light, infrared radiation, and radio waves are not harmful (again, except in extreme cases). Exposure to high levels of visible or infrared radiation (for example from a powerful laser) can cause blindness and can burn the skin. Microwaves are a low energy wave that are in fact fairly harmful. Exposure to intense microwaves can cause intense heating of the tissue, potentially causing severe burning.
