Editing Compton scattering (section)

=== Compton scattering ===
Compton scattering is of prime importance to [[radiobiology]], as it is the most probable interaction of gamma rays and high energy X-rays with atoms in living beings and is applied in [[radiation therapy]].<ref>Camphausen KA, Lawrence RC.

Compton scattering is an important effect in [[gamma spectroscopy]] which gives rise to the [[Compton edge]], as it is possible for the gamma rays to scatter out of the detectors used. [[Compton suppression]] is used to detect stray scatter gamma rays to counteract this effect.
