  1. 1. Response Relationships Demonstrated graphically through a curve that maps the observed effects of radiation exposure in relation to the dose of radiation received.
  2. 3. Energy Transfer The average energy deposited per unit length of track.
  3. 6. The most radiosensitive blood cells
  4. 7. SI unit for Effective dose.
  5. 8. Most impor­tant late stochastic effect caused by exposure to ionizing radiation.

  1. 2. Enhances the effect of ionizing radiation on biologic tissue by increasing tissue radiosensitivity.
  2. 4. Dose Takes into account the dose for all types of ionizing radiation (e.g., alpha, beta, gamma, x-ray) to various irradiated organs or tissues in the human body (e.g., skin, gonadal tissue, thyroid.)
  3. 5. Biologic Effectiveness Describes the relative capabilities of radiation with differing LETs to produce a particular biologic reaction.
