IAEA Training Material on Radiation Protection in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology Part 3: Biological effect of ionizing radiation Topic 1: Classification of radiation health effects
Radiation health effects TYPE OF EFFECTS CELL TRANSFORMATION CELL DEATH BOTH ANTENATAL somatic and hereditary expressed in the foetus, in the live born or descendants STOCHASTIC somatic & hereditary epidemiologically attributable in large populations DETERMINISTIC Somatic Clinically attributable in the exposed individual 3 : Biological effects of ionizing radiation
Biological effects of ionizing radiation • Deterministic • e.g. Lens opacities, skin injuries, • infertility, epilation, etc • Stochastic • Cancer, genetic effects. 3 : Biological effects of ionizing radiation
Deterministic effects • Deterministic (Threshold or non-stochastic) • Existence of a dose threshold value (below this dose, the effect is not observable) • Severity of the effect increases with dose • A large number of cells are involved Radiation injury from an industrial source 3 : Biological effects of ionizing radiation
Threshold Doses for Deterministic Effects • Cataracts of the lens of the eye 2-10 Gy • Permanent sterility • males 3.5-6 Gy • females 2.5-6 Gy • Temporary sterility • males 0.15 Gy • females 0.6 Gy Severity of effect dose threshold 3 : Biological effects of ionizing radiation
Stochastic Effects • Stochastic(Non-Threshold) • No threshold • Probability of the effect increases with dose • Generally occurs with a single cell e.g., cancer, genetic effects 3 : Biological effects of ionizing radiation

CANCER INITIATION TUMOR PROMOTION MALIGNANT PROGRESSION STEAM CELL NECROSIS OR APOPTOSIS MUTATION MALIGNANT TRANSFOMATION METASTASIS DIVISION
CELL INITIATION An initiating event creates a mutation in one of the basal cells
DYSPLASIA More mutations occurred. The initiated cell has gained proliferative advantages. Rapidly dividing cells begin to accumulate within the epithelium.
BENIGN TUMOR More changes within the proliferative cell line lead to full tumor development.
MALIGNANT TUMOR The tumor breaks trough the basal lamina. The cells are irregularly shaped and the cell line is immortal. They have an increased mobility and invasiveness.
METASTASIS Cancer cells break through the wall of a lymphatic vessel or blood capillary. They can now migrate throughout the body and potentially seed new tumors.

IAEA Training Material on Radiation Protection in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology Part 3: Biological effect of ionizing radiation Topic 2: Factors affecting the radiosensitivity
Radiosensitivity [RS] (1) • RS = Probability of a cell, tissue or organ of suffering an effect per unit of dose. • Bergonie and Tribondeau (1906): “RS LAWS”: RS will be greater if the cell: • Is highly mitotic. • Is undifferentiated. • Has a high cariocinetic future. 3 : Biological effects of ionizing radiation
Radiosensitivity (2) High RS Medium RS Low RS Bone Marrow Spleen Thymus Lymphatic nodes Gonads Eye lens Lymphocytes (exception to the RS laws) Skin Mesoderm organs (liver, heart, lungs…) Muscle Bones Nervous system 3 : Biological effects of ionizing radiation
Factors affecting the radiosensitivity • Physical • LET (linear energy transfer): RS • Dose rate: RS • Chemical • Increase RS: OXYGEN, cytotoxic drugs. • Decrease RS: SULFURE (cys, cysteamine…) • Biological • Cycle status: • RS: G2, M • RS: S • Repair of damage (sub-lethal damage may be repaired e.g. fractionated dose) % survivor cells LET LET G0 M M M G2 G1 S 3 : Biological effects of ionizing radiation
IAEA Training Material on Radiation Protection in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology Part 3: Biological effect of ionizing radiation Topic 3: Dose-effect response curve
Systemic effects • Effects may be morphological and/or functional • Factors: • Which Organ • How much Dose • Effects • Immediate (usually reversible): < 6 months e.g.: inflammation, bleeding. • Delayed (usually irreversible): > 6 months e.g.: atrophy, sclerosis, fibrosis. • Categorization of dose • < 1 Gy: LOW DOSE • 1-10 Gy: MODERATE DOSE • > 10 Gy: HIGH DOSE • Regeneration means replacement by the original tissue while Repair means replacement by connective tissue. 3 : Biological effects of ionizing radiation
EPIDERMIS DERMIS Skin effects • Following the RS laws (Bergonie and Tribondeau), the most RS cells are those from the basal stratum of the epidermis. • Effects are: • Erythema: 1 to 24 hours after irradiation of about 3-5 Gy • Alopecia(*): 5 Gy is reversible; 20 Gy is irreversible. • Pigmentation: Reversible, appears 8 days after irradiation. • Dry or moist desquamation: traduces epidermal hypoplasia (dose 20 Gy). • Delayed effects: teleangiectasia (**), fibrosis.
