To effectively practice radiation protection, radiographers must understand the potential biologic effects of radiation. This article reviews the importance of a knowledge of radiobiology to the work of radiologic technologists. The author describes four specific biologic effects from radiation exposure--leukemia, thyroid cancer, breast cancer and fetal effects--and presents clinical examples that relate to current radiation protection practices and concerns.
为了有效地实施辐射防护,放射技师必须了解辐射潜在的生物学效应。本文回顾了放射生物学知识对放射技师工作的重要性。作者描述了辐射暴露产生的四种特定生物学效应——白血病、甲状腺癌、乳腺癌和对胎儿的影响——并列举了与当前辐射防护实践和关注点相关的临床实例。
