Aspects of the biological Effects of Radiation

  • Chapter
Radioactive Isotopes in Physiology Diagnostics and Therapy / Künstliche Radioaktive Isotope in Physiologie Diagnostik und Therapie

  • 89 Accesses

Abstract

The field of radiobiological investigation is now so vast that it is quite impracticable in a short review to attempt to cover the whole of the subject. Also there are a number of excellent comprehensive reviews available, such as that edited by Hollaender (1954). A selection of topics has to be made and in the present review the main topics discussed, apart from general considerations of the physical interaction of radiation and matter which are essential to any understanding of the subject, will be the mechanism of cytological effects of radiation, some problems of tissue response, in particular with regard to fractionation and protraction of radiation, and the problem of radiation-induced malignancy. Each of these topics is of significance in the clinical use of radiation and they are also subjects which are being very actively investigated at the present time.
