  • Ionizing radiation and its chemical effects : a historical study of chemical dosimetry (1902-1962)

    Creator:
    Chorzempa, Mary André, Sister
    Abstract:
    Chemical dosimetry developed in response to needs created by developments in the field of high-energy radiation. Shortly after the discovery of X-rays in 1895 and of radioactivity in 1896, the deleterious effects of ionizing radiation were recognized. To guard against the injurious effects of radiation in medical application, dose-measuring methods...

  • Radiotracer methodology in biological science

    Creator:
    Willis, David L.
    Abstract:
    The use of radioactive isotopes as tracers in biological systems has become widespread since the close of World War II. Proper use of radiotracers requires a fundamental understanding of the physical nature of radioactivity, the characteristics of ionizing radiation, and the various methods available for measuring radioactivity. More importantly, the...
