Learn about ionizing radiation and its medical applications such as diagnostic testing.
Exposure to ionizing radiation is known to increase the future incidence of cancer, particularly leukemia. The mechanism by which this occurs is well understood, but quantitative models predicting the level of risk remain controversial. The most widely accepted model posits that the incide...
Radiotherapy is an important cancer treatment strategy that causes DNA damage in tumor cells... We found that mitophagy, as an upstream signal, increases ionizing radiation-induced DNA...
Radiation of certain wavelengths, called ionizing radiation, has enough energy to damage DNA and cause cancer. Ionizing radiation includes radon, x-rays, gamma rays, and other forms of high-energy...

September 30, 2021 ; There's always questions about radiation exposure from medical imaging. Patients want to know if radiation from mammograms, bone density tests, computed tomography (CT) scans, and so forth will increase their risk of developing cancer. For most women, there's very little risk from routine x-ray imaging such as mammography or dental x-rays. But many experts are concerned about an explosion in the use of higher radiation–dose tests, such as CT and nuclear imaging. Over 80 mi...
AU-22 001-2018 December 2017 The Ionizing Radiation Dose Ranges Chart was developed by the... Depending on the total dose, high dose rate exposure can result in higher risk of cancer over a...
Exposure of heterogeneous cancer cells to ionizing gamma radiation enhanced spherogenesis under stem cell culture conditions. Surprisingly, irradiation of CSC-depleted heterogeneous cancer...
Ionizing radiation, flow of energy in the form of atomic and subatomic particles or electromagnetic waves that is capable of freeing electrons from an atom, causing the atom to become charged (or i...
