Ionizing radiation such as ultraviolet light «processes» substances found in the cold molecular clouds of interstellar space such as ices rich in organic compounds into even more complex organic materials.
On the other hand,
ionizing radiation such as x-rays and the used in CT scans or gamma - ray Mammograms do have enough power to change matter, because the wavelength is low and of high energy.
