Study Notes
Deterministic Effects
- Deterministic effects are short-term, adverse tissue reactions caused by high radiation doses.
- These effects occur when radiation damage is significant enough to impair tissue or organ function.
- They arise from cell death, which can be local, affecting only a specific part of the body, or systemic, impacting the entire body.
- Local tissue damage can manifest months or even years after exposure depending on the tissue type and dose intensity.
- A sequence of exposures can also trigger these effects.
