Fundamentals of Radiation Biology presents a contemporary,
comprehensive review of the interactions between ionizing
radiations and biological materials, tracking the consequences to
three inevitable endpoints: cell restitution, cell death, or cell
transformation.The introductory narrative is followed by
examination of larger scale phenomena including tissue responses to
radiation injury, organ failure modes, and resultant human illness
including cancer. Ultimately, Fundamentals of Radiation Biology
considers circumstantial radiation incidents impacting biological
systems including radiological terrorism and radiation pollution
remediation. Chapters presenting an overview of carcinogenesis and
radiation therapy techniques based in radiobiology discuss two
significant expansions central to the concerns of the text.This
book takes an unprecedented narrative approach to radiobiology;
each chapter expands on the fundamentals surveyed previously to
lead the reader steadily to a panorama of radiation biocomplexity.
No biological event happens in isolation. Actions evoke reactions
that alter structures and cause living systems to adapt. It also
examines the components constituting mammalian radiation response
machinery and correlates them with resultant physiological
behaviors.
