However, the procedure must be used with great caution because Select one: O a. gamma-radiation can also destroy healthy cells in the patient. O b. hospital workers cannot be protected from gamma radiation. O c. electrical and magnetic fields cannot be used to control gamma radiation. O d. gamma radiation is produced by radioactive material.
