Basics Of Radiation And Applications In Medicine

Ürün Açıklaması

This book is designed to provide detailed information about the origin and properties of radiation. Starting from the origin of matter as a source of radiation, the emergence of space as a result of the Big Bang and the emergence of atoms and subatomic particles are presented with details in a general framework. Then, the effects, dose values, possible risks and benefits of various types of radiation were evaluated in a broad sense accompanied by a deep medical perspective.The structure of atomic and subatomic particles has been reviewed and the subject of investigation of subatomic particles has been addressed to evaluate the basics of the radiation event with details. The effects of radiation on cellular structures and self-protection mechanisms have been thoroughly reviewed and discussed in related topics. When evaluating the practical application of various types of radiation, it is necessary to have an idea about these rays with different physical properties. It is also essential to form a judgement about the risks of ionizing and non-ionizing radiations in our daily practice. For these reasons, some basic physical informations have been included for evaluation of the radioactivity with its effects in different doses in this study. On the other hand, relevant physical information and radiation measurement units are discussed in detail to explain, evaluate and compare health risks.This book in your hand is also an extensive review of radiation effects in living organisms. In addition, the book provides detailed information about the mechanisms of cell physiology and the protection of cells and chromosomes from cancers. In the first part, the main factors that make up the radiation in the Universe are defined with the formation and scattering features. In addition, the fundamentals of radiation generation are reviewed, discussed and verified in physical detail. Moreover, the biological effects of radiation in molecular and cellular levels with histo-chemical defe...
