This book provides a qualitative and quantitative exploration of
the action of radiation on living matter which leads to a complete
and coherent interpretation of radiation biology. It takes readers
from radiation-induced molecular damage in the nucleus of the cell
and links this damage to cellular effects such as cell killing,
chromosome aberrations and mutations before exploring organ damage,
organism lethality and cancer induction. It also deals with
radiological protection concepts and the difficulties of predicting
the dose-effect relationship for low-dose and dose rate radiation
risk. The book ends with separate chapters dealing with the effects
of UV light exposure and risk classification of chemical mutagens,
both of which are derived by logical extensions of the radiation
model. This book will provide the basic foundations of radiation
biology for undergraduate and graduate students in medical physics,
biomedical engineering, radiological protection, medicine,
radiology and radiography. Features Presents a comprehensive
insight into radiation action on living matter Contains important
implications for radiological protection and regulations Provides
analytical methods for applications in radiotherapy
