Which of the following statements about external radiation are true? Select all that apply. Check All That Apply Small deposits of radioactive materials are placed inside the body Uses a machine to delivery beams of radiation Does significant damage due to the radiation's ability to spread to surrounding tissue Allows for precise delivery of radiation Only takes one time to treat the cancer
