Descripton

Fundamentals of Radiaton Biology presents a contemporary, comprehensive review of the interactons between ionizing radiatons and biological materials, tracking the consequences to three inevitable endpoints: cell resttuton, cell death, or cell transformaton.

he introductor narratve is ollowed b e aminaton o larger scale phenomena including tssue responses to radiaton in ur , organ ailure modes, and resultant human illness including cancer. Ultmatel , Fundamentals of Radiaton Biology considers circumstantal radiaton incidents impactng biological s stems including radiological terrorism and radiaton polluton remediaton. Chapters presentng an overview o carcinogenesis and radiaton therap techni ues based in radiobiolog discuss two signifcant e pansions central to the concerns o the te t.

his book takes an unprecedented narratve approach to radiobiolog each chapter e pands on the undamentals surve ed previousl to lead the reader steadil to a panorama o radiaton biocomple it . o biological event happens in isolaton. ctons evoke reactons that alter structures and cause living s stems to adapt. t also e amines the components consttutng mammalian radiaton response machiner and correlates them with resultant ph siological behaviors.
