Difference between Radiation Therapy and Irradiation

RADIATION THERAPY vs IRRADIATION: NOUN

The use of ionizing radiation to treat disease, especially cancer.
(medicine) the treatment of disease (especially cancer) by exposure to radiation from a radioactive substance

(Pavolvian conditioning) the elicitation of a conditioned response by stimulation similar but not identical to the original stimulus
The apparent enlargement of a bright object when viewed against a dark background
(physiology) the spread of sensory neural impulses in the cortex
The condition of being exposed to radiation
(medicine) the treatment of disease (especially cancer) by exposure to radiation from a radioactive substance
A column of light (as from a beacon)
The use or application of ionizing radiation, especially in medical treatment and for the sterilization or preservation of food.
The act of irradiating or emitting beams of light; illumination; brightness emitted; enlightenment.
In neurology, the diffusion of a nervous impulse to parts outside the normal path of conduction.
In therapeutics, subjection to the influence of X-rays or other form of radioactivity.
In anatomy, the disposition of fibrous or other structures in stellate form.
In chem., exposure to radiant light: as, some substances are said to phosphoresce by irradiation.
Act of irradiating, or state of being irradiated.
Illumination; irradiance; brilliancy.
Fig.: Mental light or illumination.
Figurative: mental light or illumination.
A process of sterilisation whereby radiation is passed through a bag containing food, utensils, etc., to sterilise the contents.
In physics, the phenomenon of the apparent enlargement of an object strongly illuminated, when seen against a dark ground.
