| radiation biology | Field of science that studies the biological effects of ionizing radiation. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| radiation biophysics | The study of the effects of radiation on cells, tissues, biomolecules, and living organisms. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiation burn | A burn caused by exposure to radium, X-rays, atomic energy in any form, ultraviolet rays, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiation caries | Caries of the cervical regions of the teeth, incisal edges, and cusp tips secondary to xerostomia induced by radiation therapy to the head and neck. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiation cataract | A cataract caused by excessive or prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays, X-rays, radium, beta rays, gamma rays, heat, or radioactive isotopes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiation chemistry | The science concerned with the effects of ionizing or nuclear radiation on chemical reactions or materials. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiation chimera | An organism whose body contains cell populations of different genotypes as a result of the injection of foreign cells into it after it has received sufficient ionizing radiation to destroy the mature host cells which would otherwise reject the injected cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| radiation dermatosis | Skin changes at the site of ionizing radiation, particularly erythema in the acute stage, temporary or permanent epilation, and chronic changes in the epidermis and dermis resembling actinic keratosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiation fibrosis | The formation of scar tissue as a result of radiation therapy to the lung. (12 Dec 1998) |
| radiation inactivation | The technique of inactivating proteins in freeze dried (lyophilised) preparations using high energy particles (e.g. Electrons). One high energy particle can apparently inactivate all of the components of a multisubunit polypeptide, the method is therefore used to determine the molecular weight of functional oligomers. (18 Nov 1997) |
| radiation injuries | Harmful effects of non-experimental exposure to ionizing or non-ionizing radiation in chordates. (12 Dec 1998) |
| radiation injuries, experimental | Harmful effects of exposure to ionizing or non-ionizing radiation produced experimentally in chordates. (12 Dec 1998) |
| radiation, ionizing | Electromagnetic or corpuscular radiation capable of producing ions, directly or indirectly, in its passage through matter. The wavelengths are equal to or smaller than those of short (far) ultraviolet radiation and include gamma and X-rays and high-energy elementary particles. (12 Dec 1998) |
| radiation leukaemia virus | A murine leukaemia virus isolated from radiation-induced lymphomas in c57bl mice. It is leukemogenic, thymotrophic, can be transmitted vertically, and replicates only in vivo. (12 Dec 1998) |
| radiation monitoring | The observation, either continuously or at intervals, of the levels of radiation in a given area, generally for the purpose of assuring that they have not exceeded prescribed amounts or, in case of radiation already present in the area, assuring that the levels have returned to those meeting acceptable safety standards.
