  Since the discovery of radiation, people have benefited from the use of radiation in medicine,agriculture and industry. Physicians use X-rays in more than half of all medical diagnoses to determine the extent of disease or physical injury. The radioactive isotope cobalt-60 helps to stop the body's immune reaction to transplanted human organs.
