Radiobiology Concepts and Dosimetry Guide by alexandra663 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document provides an outline and overview of radiobiology. It begins with general concepts, including a discussion of ionizing radiation and its sources. It then discusses the atomic nucleus, including its composition of protons and neutrons. It also defines isotopes as variations of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons.
