Ionizing Radiation [PDF]

Abstract Ionizing radiation has long been recognized as a serious hazard to human health. Cancer is the best studied consequence of radiation exposure. Radon is a major source of radiation exposure for children in the home. Most types of cancers are increased by exposures to ionizing radiation. Children are generally at greater risk than

Reactions to ionizing radiation

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1980
This review deals with essential physical and biologic aspects of ionizing radiation as related to dermatology. The discussion of major physical factors and basic biophysics includes the production of x rays, dose definitions and recent changes in terminology, various factors affecting dose and tissue damage and current radiotherapy methods.

Ionizing Radiation and the Ear

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1962
The effects of ionizing radiation on the ears of 100 patients were studied in the course of treatment of malignant head and neck tumors by teleradiation using cobalt-60. The early changes consisted of "radiation otitis media" and a transient vasculitis of the vessels of the inner ear, resulting in hearing loss, tinnitus, and temporary recruitment ...

Ionizing radiation and the retina

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 1994
This review considers the effects of ionizing radiation on the retina and examines the relationship between the natural course of radiation retinopathy and the radiobiology of the retinal vascular endothelial cell (RVEC). Radiation retinopathy presents clinically as a progressive pattern of degenerative and proliferative vascular changes, chiefly ...

Leukemia and Ionizing Radiation

Science, 1957
Leukemia in man can be induced by ionizing radiations and also occurs spontaneously. For the "average" individual in a population, the probability of developing radiation-induced leukemia is estimated to be 2 × 10 –6 per rad (unit of absorbed dose of radiation) per year.

Perfluoroalkanes in Ionizing Radiation

Radiation Research, 1968
Products from the irradiation of ten pure perfluoroalkanes at 25°C by 50 to 150 Mrads of γ-rays have been analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography. The numbers of molecules that disappeared per 100 eV absorbed were found to be: ${\rm CF}_{4}(1.1),\ {\rm C}_{2}{\rm F}_{6}(4.0),\ {\rm C}_{3}{\rm F}_{8}(3.7),\ n\text{-}{\rm C}_{4}{\rm F}_{10}(3.7),\ i\text{-

Ionizing radiation and the physician.

Canadian Medical Association journal, 1998
The increasing awareness of the medical profession and the general public of the dangers associated with ionizing radiation necessitates a thorough understanding by the physician of the uses and dangers of this hazard. In addition to their application in the fields of diagnosis and therapeutic radiology, x-rays and radioisotopes are increasingly used ...

Ionizing Radiation and Cancer

Cancer Investigation, 1984
AbstractThere are many classic experiments on the effects of radiation on cells in culture and on small mammals. These, together with anecdotal data on radiation effects in humans establish the carcinogenic hazard which by now is well known, even to laymen.
