beta radiation
Reason: Many radioactive isotopes that are taken up by specific organs (for example I-131 in the thyroid, Sr-90 in bone) emit beta particles. Gamma radiation is uncharged photons and doesn't "accumulate" in tissues; alpha and positron emitters are less typically described in this context.
