Abstract

This is an introductory tutorial to the field of microdosimetry. Following a brief historical outline, we review the physics of experimental and theoretical microdosimetry and the application of microdosimetry to radiation biology within the so-called "site" approximation. Modern interpretations of microdosimetry that make use of methods developed in integral geometry are described under the heading "structural microdosimetry;" this also illustrates the conceptual basis of dual radiation action. A discussion concerning some future prospects of this field concludes the review.

摘要

这是一篇关于微剂量学领域的入门教程。在简要介绍其历史概况之后，我们回顾了实验和理论微剂量学的物理原理，以及微剂量学在所谓“位点”近似下在辐射生物学中的应用。利用积分几何学中发展起来的方法对微剂量学的现代解释在“结构微剂量学”这一标题下进行了描述；这也阐明了双辐射作用的概念基础。关于该领域一些未来前景的讨论为本文综述画上句号。
