Ionizing radiation is considered a non-threshold carcinogen. However, quantifying the risk of the more commonly encountered low and/or protracted radiation exposures remains problematic and ...
Ionising radiations (IR) occurs as either electromagnetic rays (such as X-rays and gamma rays) or particles (such as alpha and beta particles). IR occurs naturally (e.g. from the radioactive decay of ...
Traditional radiotherapy uses beams of powerful ionizing radiation, such as X-rays or carbon ions, to directly kill tumour cells. BNCT, however, uses a method that does less damage to tissue on ...
Opens in a new tab or window Increasing concerns over clinicians' risks of developing cancer or other health problems from ionizing radiation exposures on the job prompted members of the American ...
Now is the time to banish low-level radioactive energy sources from facilities that house and conduct experiments with superconducting qubits, according to a pair of recently published studies.
