University of Cambridge, said: "Ionising radiation probably causes all types of mutational damage, but here we can see two specific types of damage and get a sense of what is happening to the DNA. Showers of radiation chop up the genome causing lots of damage simultaneously. This seems...
Ionising radiation can damage living cells and these may be killed or may become cancerous Ionising radiation can initiate a cancer and can cause hereditary defects | In paper mills‚ the thickness of the paper can be controlled by measuring how much beta radiation passes through the...

Activity The activity A of a radioactive isotope is the number of nuclei of the isotope that disintegrate per second. 1 Becquerel (Bq) = 1 disintegration per second Activity is proportional to the number of radioactive isotopes present which in turn decay exponentially over time. ( A = λ N...

Therefore, besides the absorbed dose, additional parameters need to be taken into account when considering the response to a treatment with ionising radiation, including the tumour biology [35]. The interpretation of the correlation between absorbed dose and biological effect depends on where the ...
