Does the radiation stop working after after last treatment?

I had a hard wording what I was asking. Does the radiation stop working after 90 days after the last radiation treatment.? My husband's pt scan is due in 2 weeks to see if the radiation got it. Will the radiation keep working after pt scan is done?

@scared2- Good morning. This is a great question. It all depends on what type of radiation it was and for how long.
Do you know what type he had and how many days or weeks?

The radiation itself only remains for a few minutes but the effects of the radiation on damaged cells can last a while. My lower left lobe radiation ended in 2/2011. The affected lobe continued to consolidate and shrink for more than a year.
