Overview

Radiation exposure is the absorption of ionizing or non-ionizing radiation by living organisms from external or internal sources, including medical imaging and therapy, occupational settings, environmental background, and accidental releases. Ionizing radiation deposits enough energy to damage DNA and cellular structures, producing both deterministic effects above threshold doses and stochastic risks such as carcinogenesis and heritable damage, while non-ionizing exposures such as radiofrequency fields carry distinct biological considerations. Quantifying exposure through dosimetry, characterizing dose-response relationships, and implementing protection principles are central to occupational and environmental health, particularly for medical staff, patients, and populations near radiation sources. The peer-reviewed research in this area assesses radiation exposure, its biological effects, and protective measures, including evaluation of household radiation exposure and safety after ambulatory radioiodine ablation therapy, the biological effects of high-radiofrequency radiation in animal models, entrance surface dose measurement during pediatric chest radiography, the effect of laser irradiation on reparative osteogenesis, identification of actionable computed-tomography findings to guide imaging use, and the role of metabolomic tools in assessing environmental exposure. Additional work addresses radiation-induced malignancy. Recurring themes include dosimetry and the measurement of exposure, the biological consequences of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, occupational and patient protection, the balance between diagnostic or therapeutic benefit and risk, and strategies for monitoring and minimizing radiation exposure across clinical and environmental contexts.
