Recent studies suggest that every year worldwide about a million patients might be exposed
to doses of the order of 100 mGy of low-LET radiation, due to recurrent application of …

Hormesis implies that the effects of various materials or conditions that organisms are
exposed to, may not have linear dose-response characteristics but rather, can be biphasic …

Aim Viviparity has evolved more times in squamates than in any other vertebrate group;
therefore, squamates offer an excellent model system in which to study the patterns, drivers …

The linear no-threshold (LNT) model was introduced into the radiological protection system
about 60 years ago, but this model and its use in radiation protection are still debated today …

The outcome of the exposure of living organisms to ionizing radiation is determined by the
distribution of the associated energy deposition at different spatial scales. Radiation …

Exposure to radon progeny results in heterogeneous dose distributions in many different
spatial scales. The aim of this review is to provide an overview on the state of the art in …

In critically ill patients with acute respiratory failure, thoracic images are essential for
evaluating the nature, extent and progression of the disease, and for clinical management …

Low dose-rate radiation exposure can occur in medical imaging, as background from
environmental or industrial radiation, and is a hazard of space travel. In contrast with high …

Partial body exposure and inhomogeneous dose delivery are features of the majority of
medical and occupational exposure situations. However, mounting evidence indicates that …

Abstract Task Group 115 of the International Commission on Radiological Protection is
focusing on mission-related exposures to space radiation and concomitant health risks for …
