Radially restricted linear energy transfer for high-energy protons: A new analytical approach [PDF]
Radially restricted linear energy transfer (LET) is a basic physical parameter relevant to radiation biology and radiation protection. In this report a convenient method is presented for the analytical computation of this quantity without the need for ...

Ionizing Radiation-Induced Epigenetic Modifications and Their Relevance to Radiation Protection
The present system of radiation protection assumes that exposure at low doses and/or low dose-rates leads to health risks linearly related to the dose. They are evaluated by a combination of epidemiological data and radiobiological models.

Death of the ALARA Radiation Protection Principle as Used in the Medical Sector
ALARA is the acronym for “As Low As Reasonably Achievable.” It is a radiation protection concept borne from the linear no-threshold (LNT) hypothesis. There are no valid data today supporting the use of LNT in the low-dose range, so dose as a surrogate ...

Radiation protection and standardization. [PDF]
X - Rays has become integral and indispensable part of health care diagnosis and intervention. Intervention procedures in Orthopedics surgery now mostly performed under image intensifiers (C-Arm) which involve the risks of occupational overexposure of radiation to the patients and health care personnel.

Radiation dose and protection [PDF]
All studies should involve the minimum amount of radiation required to provide the required information. Children have an increased risk from radiation exposure because of a longer expected lifespan and increased tissue radiosensitivity.
