Ionizing radiation is a type of particle radiation in which an individual particle (for example, a photon, electron, or helium nucleus) carries enough energy to ionize an atom or molecule (that is, to completely remove an electron from its orbit).

And because mouse embryo cells with inactivated copies of BRCA2 are more sensitive to ionizing radiation than normal cells are, «it's a reasonable extrapolation» that breast cancers with mutated copies of the gene may be especially good candidates for radiation therapy.

Teeth and nails are good for measuring radiation because they pick up free radicals (atoms, or ions, with unpaired electrons) created by ionizing radiation and can retain them for long periods of time, says Harold Swartz, a Dartmouth Medical School professor of radiation oncology and director of the Dartmouth Biodosimetry Center for Medical Countermeasures against Radiation.

MRI is ideal for medical imaging because it's milder than techniques like CT scans or X-rays since it's not as invasive and does not rely on ionizing radiation.

Ionizing radiation used for cancer treatment includes gamma rays, X-rays and energetic particles such as alpha and beta rays.

Researchers at the Helmholtz Zentrum München now report the discovery of a very unexpected role for one such lncRNA, which they call PARTICLE, in regulating the response of cells to ionizing radiation.

The gauntlet Juno ran at Jupiter held many chances for catastrophe: The spacecraft might have been knocked out by intense magnetic fields (at that distance, 20 times stronger than Earth's), ionizing radiation (a total dose of 265 rads — more than enough to kill a human being), dust particles from Jupiter's rings (from which the main engine was completely unshielded) or loss of power if the solar arrays were unable to reorient to the sun.

«There is a need for consensus recommendations for ionizing radiation dose optimization and a regulation of dose metrics across imaging procedures,» said lead author Kevin D. Hill, MD, Division of Pediatric Cardiology, Duke University Medical Center.

While these imaging procedures, including fluoroscopically guided procedures such as cardiac catheterization, computed tomography scans, and nuclear medicine studies, are critical for accurate diagnosis and intervention, ionizing radiation in high doses can be harmful.

E.g., when trying to explain to someone how microwave «radiation» is an unlikely candidate for causing cancer, I might say that it's rather well understood how low doses of ionizing radiation can cause cancer, and the key part is not «radiation» (which microwaves are) but «ionizing» (which microwaves are not).

However when it comes to the «conundrum» as to why the Troposphere cools, with height, the Stratosphere warms, the Mesosphere cools and the Thermosphere warms I think we shall have to take into consideration that there are two types of «radiation» i.e. «Ionizing» and «Non Ionizing» Ionizing is «short Wave as in solar incoming radiation that has enough energy to dilsodge electrons, non ionizing (long wave) has not got enough energy for that kind of behaviour and is the kind of radiation discussed amongst the (us) global warming Ionizing» and «Non Ionizing» Ionizing is «short Wave as in solar incoming radiation that has enough energy to dilsodge electrons, non ionizing (long wave) has not got enough energy for that kind of behaviour and is the kind of radiation discussed amongst the (us) global warming Ionizing» Ionizing is «short Wave as in solar incoming radiation that has enough energy to dilsodge electrons, non ionizing (long wave) has not got enough energy for that kind of behaviour and is the kind of radiation discussed amongst the (us) global warming Ionizing is «short Wave as in solar incoming radiation that has enough energy to dilsodge electrons, non ionizing (long wave) has not got enough energy for that kind of behaviour and is the kind of radiation discussed amongst the (us) global warming ionizing (long wave) has not got enough energy for that kind of behaviour and is the kind of radiation discussed amongst the (us) global warming pundits.
