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

@jeffmarc I imagine the oncologist told him that EBRT is just X-rays to be reassuring.

That is technically correct, but as both you and I mentioned, they tend to use the term just for imaging these days, so it's not typical medical jargon.

So everyone gets to be right today. 🙂
