@jeffmarc We may be splitting hairs, but Minneapolis Radiation Oncology's website calls it External Beam Radiotherapy (EBRT) and it ulitizes a linear accelerator to direct high-energy radiation at precise areas to destroy prostate cancer cells. For me this is happening outside of the prostate like in my bones and lymph nodes.

@brbriggs
And then there is this

External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) differs significantly from diagnostic X-ray treatment, primarily in dose and purpose. While both use photon beams from similar-looking machines, EBRT uses much higher-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells. EBRT is a localized cancer treatment, often delivered in fractions over weeks. • National Cancer Institute
