The Compton Effect is one of the most important processes to keep in mind when calculating radiation dose in treatments. The reasons lie in the implications it has on the generation of medical images and radiation dosage in different therapies. If experts were to make mistakes when measuring this process, this would lead to everything from incorrect diagnoses to radiation overdosage. This, in turn, could lead to side effects and damage to normal tissues.
