"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."
"(also known as radiation biology, and uncommonly as actinobiology)"
