1
Soon after irradiation, early symptoms appear, which last for a limited
2
phase where symptoms disappear after irradiation
3
most important somatic effect of low doses of ionizing radiation.
4
Effect that severity increases with dose; practical threshold; probability of occurrence increases with dose.
5
Effect that severity is independent of dose; no threshold; probability of occurrence increases with dose (e.g., cancer).
6
An opacity in the normally transparent lens of the eye is closely related to exposure to ionizing radiation such as X-rays or gamma rays.
7
The quantity used to measure the “amount” of ionizing radiation is the absorbed dose, usually termed simply.
8
A radiation factor (WR) is a dimensionless multiplier used to place the biological effects (risks) of exposure to different types of radiation on a common scale.
9
Structure usually most affected by radiation
10
Common deterministic effect
