QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT OF THE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF IONIZING RADIATION

This scientific article comprehensively examines the biological effects of ionizing radiation on living organisms and the methods for their quantitative assessment. The study determines the level of biological damage based on key physical quantities such as absorbed dose, equivalent dose, and effective dose. Deterministic and stochastic types of radiobiological effects are analyzed, and their dependence on dose is substantiated through mathematical models. The effectiveness of physical and biological dosimetry methods is evaluated, and their prospects for application in medical practice are highlighted. The results are of great importance for radiation protection and ensuring radiation safety.
