Low-dose or low-dose-rate ionizing radiation–induced bioeffects in animal models
Animal experimental studies indicate that acute or chronic low-dose ionizing radiation (LDIR) (≤100 mSv) or low-dose-rate ionizing radiation (LDRIR) (<6 mSv/h) exposures may be harmful. It induces genetic and epigenetic changes and is associated with a range of physiological disturbances that includes altered immune system, abnormal brain development with resultant cognitive impairment, catarac...
متن کاملAcceleration of atherogenesis in ApoE-/- mice exposed to acute or low-dose-rate ionizing radiation.
There is epidemiological evidence for increased non-cancer mortality, primarily due to circulatory diseases after radiation exposure above 0.5 Sv. We evaluated the effects of chronic low-dose rate versus acute exposures in a murine model of spontaneous atherogenesis. Female ApoE-/- mice (60 days) were chronically irradiated for 300 days with gamma rays at two different dose rates (1 mGy/day; 20...
متن کاملHuman in vivo dose-response to controlled, low-dose low linear energy transfer ionizing radiation exposure.
PURPOSE The effect of low doses of low-linear energy transfer (photon) ionizing radiation (LDIR, <10 cGy) on human tissue when exposure is under normal physiologic conditions is of significant interest to the medical and scientific community in therapeutic and other contexts. Although, to date, there has been no direct assessment of the response of human tissue to LDIR when exposure is under no...
متن کاملLow-dose-rate or high-dose-rate brachytherapy in treatment of prostate cancer – between options
PURPOSE Permanent low-dose-rate (LDR-BT) and temporary high-dose-rate (HDR-BT) brachytherapy are competitive techniques for clinically localized prostate radiotherapy. Although a randomized trial will likely never to be conducted comparing these two forms of brachytherapy, a comparative analysis proves useful in understanding some of their intrinsic differences, several of which could be exploi...
متن کاملHuman EPR Dosimetry at Low Accumulated Dose of Ionizing Radiation Human EPR Dosimetry at Low Accumulated Dose of Ionizing Radiation
A new method for tooth (enamel and dentine) and bone EPR dosimetry is proposed that enhances substantially the dosimetric sensitivity. The method is based on the nonstandard spectra registration mode (the second harmonic phase quadrature detection of absorption under rapid passage conditions). This method provides an apparent enhancement of the component ratio of radiation to a nonradiative bac...
