C1 RADIOBIOLOGY
Study of effects of ionizing radiation in biologic tissue


HUMAN RADIATION RESPONSE
Increases with severity with increasing
radiation dose

DETERMINISTIC EFFECT
SEVERITY
NON- STOCHASTIC EFFECT
OCCURENCE:


DAYS POST EXPOSURE

Incidence of radiation response increases
with increasing radiation dose

PROBABILISTIC EFFECT INCIDENCE

STOCHASTIC EFFECT
OCCURENCE:


OBSERVES FOR MONTHS/ YEARS



Biologic Interaction
Atom/ atomic level determines the radiation interaction
