Purpose Cataract (opacification of the ocular lens) is a typical tissue reaction (deterministic
effect) following ionizing radiation exposure, for which prevention dose limits have been …

Long duration spaceflight (LDSF) exposes atronauts to radiation including solar particle
events (SPE) and galactic cosmic rays (GCR)(Fig. 1). SPE are released by our Sun and this …

FRA1 (FOSL1) is a transcription factor and a member of the activator protein-1 superfamily.
FRA1 is expressed in most tissues at low levels, and its expression is robustly induced in …

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

In 2011, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) recommended a
significant reduction in the lens-equivalent radiation dose limit, thus from an average of 150 …

Interventional radiology (IVR) procedures are associated with increased radiation exposure
and injury risk. Furthermore, radiation eye injury (ie, cataract) in IVR staff have also been …

Recent studies apparently finding deleterious effects of radiation exposure on cataract
formation in birds and voles living near Chernobyl represent a major challenge to current …

Mobile radiography allows for the diagnostic imaging of patients who cannot move to the X-
ray examination room. Therefore, mobile X-ray equipment is useful for patients who have …

Eye lens opacification (cataract) induced by ionizing radiation is an important concern for
radiation protection. Human lens epithelial cells (HLE-B3) were irradiated with γ-rays and …

Purpose Exposure to ionizing radiation is one of the known risk factors for the development
of lens opacities. It is believed that radiation interactions with lens epithelial cells (LEC) are …
