Ionizing Radiation-Induced Epigenetic Modifications and Their Relevance to Radiation Protection

The present system of radiation protection assumes that exposure at low doses and/or low dose-rates leads to health risks linearly related to the dose. They are evaluated by a combination of epidemiological data and radiobiological models. The latter imply that radiation induces deleterious effects...
