    Study Notes

    Sources of Gamma-Rays

    • Gamma-rays are produced by linear accelerators and decay
    • X-ray machines do not produce gamma-rays
    • Photomultiplier and magnetic resonance are not sources of gamma-rays

    First Stage of Interaction of Ionizing Radiation with Human Cell

    • During the first stage, ionizing radiation transfers energy to atoms
    • This stage does not involve the destruction of cells, appearance of radiolysis products, arrest of mitosis, or accelerated cell proliferation

    Second Stage of Interaction of Ionizing Radiation with Human Cell

    • In the second stage, radiolysis of water occurs, producing radiolysis products
    • This stage does not involve the transfer of energy to atoms, destruction of cells, arrest of mitosis, or accelerated cell proliferation

    Third Stage of Interaction of Ionizing Radiation with Human Cell

    • The third stage involves DNA base damage
    • This stage does not involve the transfer of energy to atoms, destruction of cells, appearance of radiolysis products, or accelerated cell proliferation

    Sources of Gamma-Rays

    • Gamma-rays are produced by linear accelerators and decay
    • X-ray machines do not produce gamma-rays
    • Photomultiplier and magnetic resonance are not sources of gamma-rays

    First Stage of Interaction of Ionizing Radiation with Human Cell

    • During the first stage, ionizing radiation transfers energy to atoms
    • This stage does not involve the destruction of cells, appearance of radiolysis products, arrest of mitosis, or accelerated cell proliferation

    Second Stage of Interaction of Ionizing Radiation with Human Cell

    • In the second stage, radiolysis of water occurs, producing radiolysis products
    • This stage does not involve the transfer of energy to atoms, destruction of cells, arrest of mitosis, or accelerated cell proliferation

    Third Stage of Interaction of Ionizing Radiation with Human Cell

    • The third stage involves DNA base damage
    • This stage does not involve the transfer of energy to atoms, destruction of cells, appearance of radiolysis products, or accelerated cell proliferation
