Exposure to ionizing radiation in nuclear medicine: Somatic and genetic effects
Original language description
Ionizing radiation is able to knock out electrons from the atom shell and thus ionize the material. This process results in physical, chemical and biological effects, which take place at molecular, subcellular or cellular levels, where these processes can cause functional and morfological changes in the individual organs and tissues as well as in the whole living organism. The biological effects due to low exposure is quantified by a quantity the effective dose. This quantity relies on the average organor tissue dose as well as on radiation and tissue weighting factors. While the radiation factor depends the type and energy of radiation, the tissue factor expresses relative radiosensitivity of respective organ or tissue. At low levels of radiation exposure the effects are generally called stochastic effects, in contrast to deterministic effects, which occur at radiation doses above the certain threshold level. Medical radiation exposure, as well as the exposure of medical personnel in
