This book shows that the medical consequences of low-dose, low-rate exposures to ionizing radiation have been overestimated by certain scientists, which apparently occurred in accordance with unofficial policies and directives. It analyses and exposes the biases and hidden confl…
Today, over 500,000 patients have been treated world wide in 250 Gamma Knife Centres in 37 countries each one treating between 150 and 700 patients a year. The current book serves as a textbook, training manual and reference book for those involved in Gamma Knife practice coveri…

"This book is a summary of research into radioactivity in terrestrial ecosystems, providing a substantial and essential reference on the subject. Published work on terrestrial radioecology can be traced back to early 1950s, and since then both the mainstream scientific literatur…
Ionizing radiation and radioactivity were discovered at the end of the last century. Since then, they have continued to make an impact on varoius fields of research, including not only fundamental studies ranging from the structure of matter at the subatomic level up to cosmic s…
This book features information regarding the Chernobyl nuclear accident, the production of elementary particles, radiation exposure, the geopolitical effects of the end of the nuclear arms race between the U.S. and the former Soviet Union, and the future of nuclear power.
"The validation and radiation sterilization process for biomaterials and medical devices requires careful planning to ensure regulatory compliance followed by precise accuracy in execution and documentation. This in-depth guide details all steps from prevalidation planning to fi…
This handbook presents the most current information on the effects of ionizing radiation on mammalian cells, with emphasis on human tissues. The dose-effect relationship is emphasized in a quantitative manner. The book contains up-to-date data on the late effects of low levels o…
This project sought to locate articles containing data on radiation dosimetry in outer space, to use those data to create a Location Exposure Matrix (LEM) for equivalent radiation doses in extraterrestrial environments, and then apply the LEM to the study of US astronaut mortali…
This Descriptive study sought to investigate nurses' knowledge, feelings beliefs, and thoughts about ionizing radiation as no other study, to this author's knowledge, had done so. To this end, 600 surveys were sent to registered nurses in the New York metropolitan area. A total …
Ionizing radiation can cause acute and long-term damage to brain tissue following radiotherapy for CNS tumors. The purpose of this research was to investigate the short-term and long-term effects of single and fractionated irradiation on cerebral microvasculature. Two major feat…
The structure of the health service in Iran has been described and the role and position of Radiology within the service explained. A comparison has been made between the current basic recommendations and requirement of the IAEA for a radiology service and requirements as laid d…
Color changes observed in irradiated meat were found to be species- and package-type dependent. Irradiated vacuum-packaged (VP) pork and turkey became redder following to irradiation relative to unirradiated controls. However, irradiated VP beef decreased in redness as compared …
