Vanguards of Paradigm Shift in Radiation Biology: Radiation-Induced Adaptive and Bystander Responses
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
The risks of exposure to low dose ionizing radiation (below 100 mSv) are estimated by extrapolating from data obtained after exposure to high dose radiation, using a linear no-threshold model (LNT model). However, the validity of using this dose-response model is controversial because evidence accumulated over the past decade has indicated that living organisms, including humans, respond differently to low...
