A complete, interactive animation covering OCR Cambridge Advanced National in Applied Science (H151) Unit F186 Medical Physics – Topic Area 3: Application of ionising therapy techniques (spec 3.1–3.2).

Designed for Level 3 learners who benefit from clear visuals and scaffolding. Teach straight from the board, or set it for independent revision.

â–¶ Watch the 2-minute preview above.

WHAT’S COVERED (34 step-through scenes)
3.1 External source –
• X-ray radiotherapy: how radiation kills cancer cells; the linac and multileaf collimator; crossfire beams; fractionation; safety and professionals
• Gamma Knife: cobalt-60 beams meeting at one target; uses, contraindications and latency
• UV skin treatment: where UV sits on the ionising boundary; penetration; psoriasis, eczema and vitiligo; safety
• Proton beam therapy: the cyclotron and the Bragg peak; penetration and energy compared with X-rays and gamma; who it suits
3.2 Internal source –
• Radionuclide therapy: iodine-131 and the thyroid; SIRT with yttrium-90; contact restrictions and safety
• Brachytherapy: LDR seeds and HDR afterloading; the inverse square law; choosing internal vs external therapy; safety and professionals

INTERACTIVE FEATURES
• Crossfire – add beams and watch the tumour dose build while sparing the spinal cord
• Fractionation – healthy cells repair between doses, cancer cells don’t
• Depth–dose graph – drag the tumour depth and compare X-ray, gamma and proton curves
• Inverse square law slider
• Choose-the-therapy patient activity (seven patients)
• Quick-check quiz for every technique (click to answer, instant feedback)
• Pop-up glossary – click any key word
• Advantages and disadvantages for every technique
• End-of-topic comparison table and recap with further-reading links

HOW TO USE
One HTML file – double-click to open in any modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari). Works fully offline: no installs, no logins, no internet needed. Full-screen button, keyboard and presenter-clicker control (→ / � / space), replay and pause on every animation, and a menu to jump to any scene.

Spec-mapped to help learners gather the knowledge they need for NEA Task 2 (therapy).
