In general, if there is no adjacent organ(s)-at-risk (OARs), one of the dosimetric goals is to generate a homogeneous, isotropic distribution of absorbed radiation dose within the target.

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency said it has developed a more accurate method to estimate radiation exposure doses among people who spend time around the stricken Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant.

nuclear radiation). Exposure of the skin to high doses of ionizing radiation leads to accumulation of lymphocytes in the layers of the skin caused by the effects of cell death and eventually to the ...
