    As far as I am aware, gamma rays are irrelevant unless a target material is used which will absorb accelerated electrons and emit gamma rays. The greatest risk would come from the release of beta radiation in electron therapy mode, which is far more harmful than simple x-rays.

  • I´m an architect working in the medical field

    When building this radiation labyrinth is it possible to light this room by indirect light or is the risk that gamma rays will find a way out?
