Radiobiology Study Guide

Sale Price: $16.99 Original Price: $20.00

Understand how radiation affects life — from the cell to the whole body.

The Radiobiology Study Guide takes you beyond numbers and formulas into the why behind radiation safety.
It explains what happens when ionizing radiation interacts with living tissue, how cells respond and repair, and why dose limits exist.
Frank leads you through the biology that underpins every protection protocol — making one of radiography’s hardest topics clear, visual, and memorable.

What’s Inside

  • Cell Structure & Function — the building blocks of life and how radiation alters them

  • Ionization & Interaction Mechanisms — direct and indirect effects, free radicals, DNA hits

  • Cellular Response to Radiation — repair, recovery, and reproductive death

  • Tissue & Organ Sensitivity — law of Bergonié and Tribondeau simplified

  • Deterministic vs. Stochastic Effects — thresholds, dose-response relationships, graphs

  • Whole-Body Effects — acute radiation syndrome, long-term risk, genetic implications

  • Radiation Protection Principles — dose limits, ALARA, and time–distance–shielding review

Why It Works

  • Plain-language explanations turn dense biology into stories you can remember

  • Chalkboard diagrams illustrate cellular targets, response curves, and repair timelines

  • Exam-aligned content built around ARRT Safety & Radiobiology objectives

  • Clinical context connects molecular theory to patient care and protection

  • End-of-chapter reflections reinforce ethical and professional application

What’s Included

  • Full Study Guide PDF (searchable, printable)

  • Practice Question Sets (Q&A, MCQ, Fill-in-the-Blank) with inline answers

  • Quick-Reference Tables (radiosensitivity by tissue type, deterministic thresholds)

  • Chalkboard Visual Library featuring Frank’s classroom lessons
