INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RADIATION BIOLOGY

《国际放射生物学杂志》发表关于电离作用、紫外线和可见辐射、加速粒子、微波、超声波、热和相关模式的原始论文、评论、最新主题文章、技术说明/报告和会议报告。重点放在这种辐射的生物效应上:从辐射化学到活生物体的反应谱和基本机制，包括遗传异常、修复现象、细胞死亡、剂量修改剂和组织反应。将基础研究应用于放射治疗的医学用途，将范围扩展至物理和化学佐剂等实际问题，以提高放射治疗癌症的有效性。还考虑了对低剂量辐射危害的评估。

The International Journal of Radiation Biology publishes original papers, reviews, current topic articles, technical notes/reports, and meeting reports on the effects of ionizing, UV and visible radiation, accelerated particles, microwaves, ultrasound, heat and related modalities. The focus is on the biological effects of such radiations: from radiation chemistry to the spectrum of responses of living organisms and underlying mechanisms, including genetic abnormalities, repair phenomena, cell death, dose modifying agents and tissue responses. Application of basic studies to medical uses of radiation extends the coverage to practical problems such as physical and chemical adjuvants which improve the effectiveness of radiation in cancer therapy. Assessment of the hazards of low doses of radiation is also considered.
