Study Notes
Deterministic Effects of Radiation
- Deterministic effects have thresholds above which damage occurs.
- Examples of deterministic effects include:
- Radiation burns
- Acute radiation syndrome (ARS)
- Cancer (in some cases)
- Short-term effects of radiation typically appear within:
- Hours or days of exposure
- Weeks or months after exposure
