Effects of radiation on chromosomes

Creators

Description

An extensive review of the literature describing effects of ionizing radiation on biological material is presented. Included in the discussion are the following subjects: Chromosomal alterations; Aberration frequencies; Microdosimetry and chromosome aberrations; LET and RBE; Biological dosimetry; Chromosomal banding; Response modification; Recent approaches to aberration formation; Sensitivity to chromosomal change and its consequences; Intracellular emitters of radiation; Sister chromatid exchanges. The use of chromosomal aberrations as biological dosimeters for unknown radiation exposures is discussed. 161 references, 13 figures, 1 table
