Relative biological effect of alpha particle radiation on low dose phenomena: lethal mutation, hyper-radiosensitivity and increased radioresistance

2018-10-04

Abstract excerpt

At high doses, the current recommended radiation weighting factors advise a significantly higher effectiveness of alpha particles relative to gamma radiation. However, at lower doses, the ratio of effectiveness between radiations of varying linear energy transfer values is complicated due to the relative importance of low dose phenomena such as genomic instability, bystander effects, low dose hyper-radiosensitivit...
