Energetic Quanta: Gamma-Rays
Gamma rays…
Are emitted from the nucleus to trim excess energy.
Tend to carry higher energies than X-rays, but this does not have to be the case
For example, after a larger energy decay particle (e.g. a beta particle) is emitted, the nucleus may still be slightly unstable (i.e., the atom [...]

Clinical
An ectopic pregnancy is implantation of a fertilized ovum outside of the fundus or body of the uterine cavity. Usually bleeding or pain in a patient with a positive BHCG is the common presentation. Ectopic pregnancy can never be excluded. We can confirm an intrauterine pregnancy (IUP) [...]
