"Radiobiology (also known as radiation biology, and uncommonly as actinobiology) is a field of clinical and basic medical sciences that involves the study of the effects of ionizing radiation on living things, in particular health effects of radiation."
The study of the effects of radiation on living organisms.
"It involves the study of the effects of ionizing radiation on living things, in particular health effects of radiation."
"Ionizing radiation is generally harmful and potentially lethal to living things."
"But can have health benefits in radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer and thyrotoxicosis."
"Its most common impact is the induction of cancer with a latent period of years or decades after exposure."
"High doses can cause visually dramatic radiation burns and/or rapid fatality through acute radiation syndrome."
"Controlled doses are used for medical imaging and radiotherapy."
