Abstract
This overview covers the effects of radiation on living organisms, including risks and legal requirements. It defines basic radiation terms, such as ionization, activity, energy dose, or equivalent dose, and explains direct and indirect radiation effects. It also lists foods that should be avoided after a reactor accident, including the topic of iodine prophylaxis.
期刊介绍:
The Hellenic Journal of Nuclear Medicine published by the Hellenic Society of
Nuclear Medicine in Thessaloniki, aims to contribute to research, to education and
cover the scientific and professional interests of physicians, in the field of nuclear
medicine and in medicine in general. The journal may publish papers of nuclear
medicine and also papers that refer to related subjects as dosimetry, computer science,
targeting of gene expression, radioimmunoassay, radiation protection, biology, cell
trafficking, related historical brief reviews and other related subjects. Original papers
are preferred. The journal may after special agreement publish supplements covering
important subjects, dully reviewed and subscripted separately.
