What's the difference between incidence and radiation?

Incidence


Definition:

  • (n.) A falling on or upon; an incident; an event.
  • (n.) The direction in which a body, or a ray of light or heat, falls on any surface.

Radiation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of radiating, or the state of being radiated; emission and diffusion of rays of light; beamy brightness.
  • (n.) The shooting forth of anything from a point or surface, like the diverging rays of light; as, the radiation of heat.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Recently, it has been shown that radiation therapy, alone or combined with chemotherapy, can be successful.
  • (2) Sixteen patients were operated on for lumbar pain and pain radiating into the sciatic nerve distribution.
  • (3) Because of the small number of patients reported in the world literature and lack of controlled studies, the treatment of small cell carcinoma of the larynx remains controversial; this retrospective analysis suggests that combination chemotherapy plus radiation offers the best chance for cure.
  • (4) Breast conserving surgery in patients with small tumors combined with radiation therapy has gained wide popularity due to better cosmetic results without significant changes in survival.
  • (5) A Monte Carlo simulation was performed to characterize the spatial and energy distribution of bremsstrahlung radiation from beta point sources important to radioimmunotherapy (RIT).
  • (6) While both inhibitors caused thermosensitization, they did not affect the time scale for the development of thermotolerance at 42 degrees C or after acute heating at 45 degrees C.
