Lint: kerma

Litotes
warning

"Kerma is a measure of energy transferred from radiation to matter and is an acronym for kinetic energy released to matter. It is related to, but not the same as absorbed dose. Kerma is measured by the SI unit, the gray (joules per kilogram) 1,3."

Oxford Comma
suggestion

"At radiological energies, transfer and deposition of energy is virtually equal. However, at higher energies, a photon may interact with tissue in one position and create an electron that possesses enough energy to deposit energy at a location away from the interaction point."

Line 3:20 · Use the Oxford comma in 'energies, transfer and deposition'.
