      Not when any patients are concerned. There’s a lot of radiation safety we have to follow and we would never play games with patient treatments. However, when there isn’t a patient involved we design our own experiments. When something called multi-leaf collimator got invented (these block the beam in places to essentially shape it) people started making radiation designs on film, like Einsteins face or the Pepsi logo 😉 you’ve got to find ways to enjoy work
