BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF IONIZING RADIATION . Ionizing radiation in very high levels is known to increase the incidence of cancer, birth anomalies, erythema, and other problems. In low levels, these effects are either very, very small compared to natural incidences or non-existent depending on the biological model used for estimating the potential risk.

Four things can happen when radiation enters a cell: 1. The radiation may pass through without any damage occurring; 2. The radiation may damage the cell, but the cell repairs the damage; 3. The radiation may damage the cell…the damage is not repaired…and the cell replicates itself in the damaged form; 4. The cell dies.

Biological damage by high LET is primarily by direct ionization action. Figure 23.3 illustrates how radiation leads to tis- sue damage. Radiation effects have ...

IONIZING RADIATION 82 3. SUMMARY OF HEALTH EFFECTS OF IONIZING RADIATION appeared to have redistributed from the lungs to the bones and, given its long physical half-time (t1/2) of 28.6 years, would have irradiated the surrounding tissues for a lengthy period of time to produce a

It describes the possible and probable short-term and long-term effects produced by ionizing radiation depositing energy in living tissue. We begin with a ...

Biological Damage due to Ionizing Radiation Ionizing radiation may produce DNA Ionizing radiation is a well-known risk factor for developing benign and malignant diseases including different types of cancer. Despite its proven deleterious effects there is still a high unawareness about its importance.

Prodromal Stage Symptoms which appear quickly after radiation exposure are referred to as prodromal radiation syndrome.

Ionizing radiation in very high levels is known to increase the incidence of cancer, birth anomalies, erythema, and other problems. In low levels, these effects are either very, very small compared to natural incidences or non-existent depending on the biological model used for estimating the potential risk. Regulatory agencies assume that ...

19 Gastrointestinal Syndrome Prodromal Stage: Vomiting and diarrhea occur within hours and last up to one day Latent Period: Lasts 3-5 days Manifest Illness: Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea – Worsens to bloody stools Death within 4 to 10 days after exposure primarily due to intestinal cell damage – Also damage to blood-forming tissue results in hemorrhaging and dehydration.

Biological Effects of Ionising Radiation The harmful effects of ionizing radiation has on human tissue can be divided into two types: Deterministic and Stochastic. Deterministic Effects Deterministic effects only occur once a threshold of exposure has been exceeded. The severity of deterministic effects increases as the dose of exposure increases.

Radiation Dose "Dose" the amount of radioactive energy that is actually absorbed by tissues in the body. Radiation dose unit (rad) : 1 r = 0.01 J/kg Roentgen Equivalent Man: rem = rad x RBE The biological effect depends on the type of radiation and body part: RBE: Relative biological effectiveness . Type of energy of radiation RBE

Following the initial radiation exposure, and before the full-blown biological effect occurs, there is a time lag referred to as the latent period. There is a ...

Biological Effects of Ionising Radiation Radiation damage occurs via one of two ways – Direct Damage occurs when radiation damages the DNA directly, causing ionization of the atoms in the DNA molecule. Ionisation of molecule invariably leads to its disruption. Indirect Damage occurs when radiation interacts with non-critical target
