  -> Thanks

agree  analytical (X): or 'effective radiation'
1 hr
  -> 'effective' might be too much related with the efficacy in the patient and less with the available (vs. lost) radiation...

Following my response below, in fact, 'primary radiation' might be a good alternative here.

neutral  Harald Moelzer (medical-translator): I am not sure what your point is, however there are numerous bilingual documents with Nutzstrahlung & "useful beam/radiation"...
4 hrs
  -> The DIN standard deal with *protection* of 'bystanders' from the primary radiation as well as from scattered/diffuse radiation and has nothing to do with the radiation source or application per se, i.e. useful radiation is a bit off context.
