Description
Starting from different definitions of the term 'radiation injuries' published in literature considerations are made as to the term of injury in medicine generally and in radiotherapy particularly. It is suggested to use the term 'radiogenic injury of health' instead of the term 'radiation injury' and to speak of 'complications in connection with medical application of rays' before the causal explanation of the facts.
