Overview

This book is an important first step in the understanding of how ionising radiation (i.e., radiation with sufficient energy to strip electrons from their parent atoms) interacts with matter. In humans, ionizing radiation can induce cancer, and, as well, be used to cure or control cancer growth - the first chapter describes how radiation damages organisms at the microscopic level, eg., the DNA molecule, thereby giving rise to myriad forms of diseases and genetic alterations. The second and third chapters attempt to connect between radiation effects in the physical devices used to measure radiation damage (dose) and radiation effects in biological organisms. The similarities and differences are fascinating and understanding of how radiation affects both types of systems has a profound synergy. The book is not only intended for theoreticians and specialists - several chapters are devoted to the applications of TLDs and semiconductor in radiation do
