Radiobiology

What is radiobiology? It is the study of the biological effects and uses of radiation on biological matter. Through radiobiology we have been able to gain a better understanding of haw radiation affects tissue and the contributions it can have on diseased tissue. Radiobiology has helped to pave the way for radiotherapy, one of the main treatments for cancer. Radiophysics, another related field which makes it possible to measures the exact amount of radiation delivered …

…and improved upon. Also, studying the effects of radiation on biological matter the development of cures to radiation sickness and radiation poisoning can become a thing of the past. Radiobiology is an extensive field that branches off into many directions. From the study of radiation and radioactivity to radiophysics and radiotherapy. It will always be growing due to new advancement and methods and fewer changing due to new problems arising to new solutions being discovered.
