Säteilytiede
Säteilytiede, also known as radiation science, is a multidisciplinary field that studies the properties, behavior, and effects of ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation consists of particles or electromagnetic waves that have sufficient energy to ionize atoms or molecules, thereby producing free radicals and other reactive species. This field is crucial in various applications, including medicine, industry, and environmental science.
In medicine, säteilytiede plays a vital role in diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays and computed tomography (CT),
In industry, säteilytiede is essential for quality control and non-destructive testing of materials. Techniques like radiography
Environmental science also benefits from säteilytiede, particularly in the study of natural and man-made radiation sources.
Säteilytiede encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. It involves the
