Traditionally, non-cancer diseases are not considered as health risks following exposure to
low doses of ionizing radiation. Indeed, non-cancer diseases are classified as deterministic …

The endothelium, a tissue that forms a single layer of cells lining various organs and cavities
of the body, especially the heart and blood as well as lymphatic vessels, plays a complex …

Purpose There are well-known correlations between high and moderate doses (> 0.5 Gy) of
ionizing radiation exposure and circulatory system damage, also between radiation and …

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

There is a well-established association between high doses (> 5 Gy) of ionizing radiation
exposure and damage to the heart and coronary arteries, although only recently have …

The evaluation of the health effects of low-dose ionizing radiation has always been a focus
of debate and investigation within the scientific community. During the last decade …

Background and Purpose: Epidemiological data suggests an excess risk of cardiovascular
disease (CVD) at low doses (0.05 and 0.1 Gy) of ionizing radiation (IR). Furthermore, the …

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 …

It is well established that high-dose ionising radiation causes cardiovascular diseases. In
contrast, the evidence for a causal relationship between long-term risk of cardiovascular …
