Biophysical considerations on low dose radiation risk.

Abstract excerpt

Considerations about the action of low radiation doses and the applicability of the collective dose concept have to take into account that radiation interaction and the formation of initial lesions are discrete processes. With increasing LET the number of hit cells per unit dose is reduced while the energy deposited in the nuclei of affected cells increases. A cell without initial radiation induced lesions cannot...
