Title

Radiation Biology, Part 2: Cellular Radiation (1.5 credit hours)

Abstract

Cellular Radiation is the second module of eight in the Radiobiology and Radiation Protection series. This module discusses cellular radiobiologic effects and includes: cell structure and biology, the principles of cell division, target theory, the effects of radiation on cells, and the radiosensitivity of cells.
