“…Studies such as those of Rehani and co-workers (Brambilla et al 2019;Rehani 2019;Rehani et al 2019a, b) and Harrison (Harrison 2017;Harrison et al 2017) pave the way to go. This is consistent with one of the major visions formulated by the European Radiation Dosimetry Group (EURADOS) in their Strategic Research Agenda where the major challenges in dosimetry for the next 20 years have been summarized (Rühm et al 2016).…”

Modern medicine offers a variety of diagnostic methods and tools that include imaging techniques where patients are exposed to ionizing radiation such as X-radiography, CT scans, PET and others. In many countries, for example, the use of CT scans has continuously increased representing today an indispensable tool in X-ray diagnostics (UNSCEAR 2010). As a result, in particular in developed countries with health-care level I, even if averaged over the whole population of a certain country, medical exposures are largely responsible for exposure from manmade sources of ionizing radiation (UNSCEAR 2010). Recent studies suggest cumulative effective doses of more than 100 mSv from CT scans * W. Rühm

“…It is therefore mandatory to investigate the reliability of calculated dosimetric quantities. For quality assurance of physical radiation quantities in preclinical applications of GNPs, a project of intercomparison of these quantities was initiated by the European Radiation Dosimetry Group (EURADOS) [39] and was carried out by two task groups, the Micro-and Nanodosimetry Task Group of Working Group 6 (WG6) "Computational Dosimetry" [40] and the Internal Microdosimetry Task Group of Working Group 7 (WG7) "Internal Dosimetry" [41].…”

Purpose: Radiation biology is a branch of the radiation research field which focuses on studying radiation effects in cells and organisms. Radiation can be used in biological investigations for two, mutually non-exclusive reasons: (1) to study biological processes by perturbing their functioning (qualitative approach) and (2) to assess consequences of radiation-induced damage (quantitative approach). While the former approach has a basic research character, the latter has an applied character that is driven by needs of medical applications and radiological protection. Radiation protection biology is defined in the sense of the second approach. The aim of the article is to provide a historical review of how radiation protection biology developed and how it influences radiological protection. Conclusions: While radiobiological investigations started immediately after the discovery of X-rays, the qualitative approach dominated until the end of World War II. After 1945, the nuclear weapons race and nuclear energy programs initiated quantitative radiobiological research. Radiation protection biology does not provide results from which radiation risks can be directly derived. Rather, it provides data that is necessary for understanding the nature of risks. Most recent years have seen, especially in Europe, a growing interest in coordinated studies on the effects of low radiation doses. ARTICLE HISTORY
