Fundamentals Of Radiobiology And Radiogenetics 2023/2024

Energy of ionizing- (IR) and non-ionizing radiation (NIR). Mode of interaction of radiation with matter; energy distribution, energy absorption and  effects at the molecular, cellular and tissue levels. Differential radiosensitivity. Unit of measurement for IR. Direct clastogenic effects of IR. Dose-effect kinetics: lethality and survival curves. Threshold dose. Intensity and dose fractionation of IR. Oxygen effect. Human exposure to IR: somatic and germ-line risk. Bystander effect of IR.
