increasing radiation dose, it is called a _______ effect
And only occurs within days after the radiation exposure
If radiation response increases with increasing radiation Stochastic
dose it is called ______ effect
And is not observed for months or years
What is the ultimate goal of radiobiology research To accurately describe the effects of radiation on humans so that radiation can be
used more safely in diagnosis and more effectively in therapy
