several exposures to radiation
1Radiation dose reconstruction — refers to the process of estimating radiation doses that were received by individuals or populations in the past as a result of particular exposure situations of concern.[1] The basic principle of radiation dose reconstruction is to characterize… …
2radiation — radiational, adj. /ray dee ay sheuhn/, n. 1. Physics. a. the process in which energy is emitted as particles or waves. b. the complete process in which energy is emitted by one body, transmitted through an intervening medium or space, and… …
3Radiation therapy — Radiation (medicine) redirects here. It is not to be confused with Radiation (pain) or Radiology. Radiation therapy Intervention ICD 10 PCS D ICD 9 CM …
4Radiation poisoning — Radiation poisoning, also called radiation sickness or a creeping dose , is a form of damage to organ tissue due to excessive exposure to ionizing radiation. The term is generally used to refer to acute problems caused by a large dosage of… …
5radiation measurement — ▪ technology Introduction technique for detecting the intensity and characteristics of ionizing radiation, such as alpha, beta, and gamma rays or neutrons, for the purpose of measurement. The term ionizing radiation refers to those… …
6Acute radiation syndrome — Classification and external resources A Japanese girl recovering from the effects of radiation sickness ICD 10 T …
7Ionizing radiation — consists of highly energetic particles or waves that can detach (ionize) at least one electron from an atom or molecule. Ionizing ability depends on the energy of the impinging individual particles or waves, and not on their number. A large flood …
8ionizing radiation injury — also called radiation sickness tissue destruction or changes caused by deeply penetrating electromagnetic waves of high frequency or subatomic particles (subatomic particle) that form positively and negatively charged particles in the… …
9Background radiation — This article is about ionizing radiation. For microwave background radiation from space, see Cosmic background radiation and cosmic background. Thermal radiation emitted by Earth is not considered in this category because it is not ionizing.… …
10Orders of magnitude (radiation) — Recognized effects of higher acute radiation doses are described in more detail in the article on radiation poisoning. Although the International System of Units (SI) defines the sievert (Sv) as the unit of radiation dose equivalent, chronic… …
