| | Ionizing radiation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The associations between ionizing radiation exposure and the development of cancer are mostly based on populations exposed to relatively high levels of ionizing radiation, such as Japanese atomic bomb survivors, and recipients of selected diagnostic or therapeutic medical procedures. | | | By far, the most significant source of human-made radiation exposure to the general public is from medical procedures, such as diagnostic X-rays, nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy. | | | Because UV radiation, especially UV-C, exceeds the ionization energy of many of the elements, it is often considered ionizing radiation rather than non-ionizing radiation. |

| | Radiation poisoning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Strictly speaking the correct name for "radiation sickness" is acute radiation syndrome. | | | The best prevention for radiation sickness is to minimize human exposure to high levels of ionizing radiation. | | | Fatality increases from 60% at 4.5 Sv to 90% at 6 Sv (unless there is intense medical care). |

| | Burns, both thermal and from beta radiation, were treated with surgical excision of tissue that was not viable, and any fluid and electrolyte loss was compensated for by the parenteral feeding set up to treat the gastro-intestinal syndrome which is a prominent feature of acute radiation sickness. | | | This mistrust was reinforced further by the fact that the traditional sources of information to which the public tended to turn in a crisis, the physicians and teachers, were no better informed and often only repeated and reinforced the fears that had been expressed to them. | | | This prudent assumption has been adopted to assist in the planning of radiation protection provisions when considering the introduction of practices involving ionising radiations. |

| | There is a term in medicine pertaining to acute radiation poisoning called "anastasis", which is a feeling of well being for a few days (after being sick), followed by sickness again. | | | There is an increased cancer risk from diagnostic procedures, but generally the benefit from the procedure always outweighs the radiation risks. | | | > > There is a term in medicine pertaining to acute radiation poisoning > called "anastasis", which is a feeling of well being for a few days > (after being sick), followed by sickness again. |
