Radiation biology and radiation protection
Annals of the ICRP, 2012For protection purposes, the biological effects of radiation are separated into stochastic effects (cancer, hereditary effects) presumed to be unicellular in origin, and tissue reactions due to injury in populations of cells. The latter are deterministic effects, renamed ‘tissue reactions’ in the 2007 Recommendations of the International Commission on

Ionizing radiation and radiation protection
2017Ionizing radiation has been revolutionizing the diagnostic process in medicine. However, its use is not without risk, necessitating protection of patients and staff from potential harm. The amount of radiation patients receive continues to rise, mainly due to the use of high-dose examination techniques such as computed tomography and image-guided ...

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the protection of biological entities from hazard of radiation exposure. Radiation protection of living organisms requires control of sources, barriers between source and living being, or removal of the target entity. Calculations are required to evaluate external hazard.

Graphdiyne Nanoparticles with High Free Radical Scavenging Activity for Radiation Protection.
ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 2019Numerous carbon networks materials comprised of benzene moieties, such as graphene and fullerene, have held great fascination for radioprotection because of their acknowledged good biocompatibility and strong free radical scavenging activity derived from

Terminology in radiation protection
The British Journal of Radiology, 1975It is widely known that there is a high probability that the Euratom Treaty will shortly affect radiological protection (otherwise known as health physics or radiation safety) in hospitals, research establishments and medical schools throughout the United Kingdom. It is hoped that the various organizations concerned, which include the British Institute

Rationale for Radiation Protection
Health Physics, 1974Suggestions are made for a more quantitative rationale for radiation protection. Thus, an approach is discussed in which external fields, or the response of suitable detectors exposed to the fields, are transformed into the time-dependent probabilities for specific biological effects in a given species.

Radiation protection standards
Non-Destructive Testing, 1960When we speak about standards we may well ask ourselves what we mean. To most people standards mean something firmly fixed, or at least reproducible—something quite permanent or something that is quite definitely definable. As a matter of fact, there are few absolute standards.
