Abstract

Modern medicine cannot exist without diagnostic and therapeutic methods that are based on ionizing radiation. Therefore it is necessary to understand interactions between this form of energy and living matter to make a full use of progress in radiobiology. Ionizing radiation is widely used for a relatively long time, that is how it is known, that disproportionately huge doses of ionizing radiation are particularly harmful for living organisms including humans. However low doses of radiation are useless in modern medicine. Broadening knowledge of radiobiology can be crucial for healthcare professionals.
