Parent topics

  • Ionizing radiation [r]: Subatomic particles or electromagnetic waves that are energetic enough to detach electrons from atoms or molecules, ionizing them. [e]
  • Radiology [r]: A physician specialty with a core competence in obtaining and diagnosing by means of instruments that receive energy transmitted through the body; there are a number of subspecialties. [e]

Subtopics

  • Instrumentation for radioactivity [r]: Devices that variously detect, measure and characterize radioactivity; they may be intended for field or laboratory use [e]
  • Acute radiation syndrome [r]: Disease or death caused by whole-body irradiation, over a short period of time, with a significant quantity of penetrating radiation [e]
  • Fractionated radiotherapy [r]: Medical treatment with ionizing radiation, in which the total dose is spread over multiple treatment sessions, and possibly multiple exposures within the same session [e]
