The human response to ionizing radiation (IR) varies among individuals. The first evidence
of the individual response to IR was reported in the beginning of the 20th century …

The lens of the eye has long been considered as a radiosensitive tissue, but recent research
has suggested that the radiosensitivity is even greater than previously thought. The 2012 …

Orthopaedic surgeons are routinely exposed to intraoperative radiation and, therefore,
follow the principle of “as low as reasonably achievable” with regard to occupational safety …

The majority of studies investigating the effectiveness of radiation shields focus on
procedures performed by cardiologists. These studies are, nevertheless, relevant also for …

With the wide application of X-rays, the development of flexible and efficient radiation
protective materials to reduce the hazards of radiation is in great demand. Inspired by the …

Purpose Since the exact development of posterior subcapsular cataracts (PSCs) is poorly
understood, we review various risk factors and propose a two-stage etiology for PSCs …

For radiation protection purposes, noncancer effects with a threshold-type dose-response
relationship have been classified as tissue reactions (formerly called nonstochastic or …

The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has considered for over 60
years that the lens of the eye is among the most radiosensitive tissues, and has …

Ionizing radiation (IR) damages DNA and other macromolecules, including proteins and
lipids. Most cell types can repair DNA damage and cycle continuously their macromolecules …

Ionizing radiation exposure to the lens of the eye is a known cause of cataractogenesis.
Historically, it was believed that the acute threshold dose for cataract formation was 5 Sv …
