Biological monitoring of radiation exposure relies heavily on the quantification of
chromosome aberrations such as dicentrics and reciprocal translocations in the peripheral …

Biological effects of high-LET (linear energy transfer) radiation have received increasing
attention, particularly in the context of more efficient radiotherapy and space exploration …

Recent groundbreaking developments in Omics and bioinformatics have generated new
hope for overcoming the complexity and variability of (radio) biological systems while …

Ionising radiation is incredibly effective at causing biological effects. This is due to the
unique way energy is deposited along highly structured tracks of ionisation and excitation …

High linear energy transfer (LET) α particles are important with respect to the carcinogenic
risk associated with human exposure to ionizing radiation, most notably to radon and its …

Abstract Anderson, R. M, Stevens, DL, Sumption, ND, Townsend, KMS, Goodhead, DT and
Hill, MA Effect of Linear Energy Transfer (LET) on the Complexity of α-Particle-Induced …

We performed a study on the presence of chromosome aberrations in a cohort of plutonium
workers of the Mayak production association (PA) with a mean age of 73.3±7.2 years to see …

The purpose of the present study was to investigate as to what extent differences in the
linear energy transfer (LET) are reflected at the chromosomal level. For this study human …

According to their physical characteristics, protons and ion beams promise a revolution in
cancer radiotherapy. Curing protocols however reflect rather the empirical knowledge than …

Radiobiological models are used in modern radiotherapy to evaluate the biological effects of
different treatment plans or modalities. A radiobiological model typically converts a physical …
