Radiotoxicitet
Radiotoxicitet refers to the harmful effects of ionizing radiation on living organisms. Ionizing radiation, such as X-rays, gamma rays, and alpha and beta particles, carries enough energy to remove electrons from atoms and molecules, creating ions. This process can damage biological tissues at the cellular level.
The primary mechanism of radiotoxicitet is DNA damage. Radiation can cause direct breaks in the DNA strands
The severity of radiotoxicitet depends on several factors, including the dose of radiation received, the dose
Acute radiation syndrome can occur after exposure to very high doses of radiation over a short period,
