Effects of Low-Dose Ionising Radiation
Recent years there have been a number of discussions about the magnitude of the health risks resulting from the exposure to low levels of ionising radiation mainly within the American Health Physics Society, the French Academy of Sciences and the Canadian Radiation Protection Association. Essentially, the debate has centred on the question of linearity, i.e., whether to assume that the probabil...
متن کاملThe Complexity of Low Dose Radiation Health Effects: Understanding Non-targeted Radiation Effects
Unexpected events like the Fukushima Daiichi incident demonstrated the possibility that military personnel could potentially be exposed to low dose radiation (LDR). LDR cancer risks are uncertain and research has yet to establish cancer risks at LDRs because LDR epidemiological studies are difficult to conduct. Understanding LDR cancer risks is critical since it is difficult to predict the long...
متن کاملScientific Risk Estimation on Health Effects of Low Dose and Low Dose-Rate Radiation - An Overview
Estimation of the scientific risks of high dose radiation has been successfully quantified by many studies using several different approaches. However, the risk for low and low dose-rate radiation is obscure because of a lack of evidence. This risk is currently estimated by extrapolating the radiation response at high doses into low dose ranges for practical purposes. Recent challenges to exami...
متن کاملDosimetry for quantitative analysis of the effects of low-dose ionizing radiation in radiation therapy patients.
We have developed and validated a practical approach to identifying the location on the skin surface that will receive a prespecified biopsy dose (ranging down to 1 cGy) in support of in vivo biological dosimetry in humans. This represents a significant technical challenge since the sites lie on the patient's surface outside the radiation fields. The PEREGRINE Monte Carlo simulation system was ...
متن کاملLow-dose radiation induces antitumor effects and erythrocyte system hormesis.
OBJECTIVE Low dose radiation may stimulate the growth and development of animals, increase life span, enhance fertility, and downgrade the incidence of tumor occurrence.The aim of this study was to investigate the antitumor effect and hormesis in an erythrocyte system induced by low-dose radiation. METHODS Kunming strain male mice were subcutaneously implanted with S180 sarcoma cells in the r...
