The International Journal of Radiation Biology publishes original papers, reviews, current topic articles, technical notes/reports, and meeting reports on the effects of ionizing, UV and visible radiation, accelerated particles, microwaves, ultrasound, heat and related modalities. The focus is on the biological effects of such radiations: from radiation chemistry to the spectrum of responses of living organisms and underlying mechanisms, including genetic abnormalities, repair phenomena, cell death, dose modifying agents and tissue responses. Application of basic studies to medical uses of radiation extends the coverage to practical problems such as physical and chemical adjuvants which improve the effectiveness of radiation in cancer therapy. Assessment of the hazards of low doses of radiation is also considered.

《國(guó)際放射生物學(xué)雜志》發(fā)表關(guān)于電離作用、紫外線和可見輻射、加速粒子、微波、超聲波、熱和相關(guān)模式的原始論文、評(píng)論、最新主題文章、技術(shù)說明/報(bào)告和會(huì)議報(bào)告。重點(diǎn)放在這種輻射的生物效應(yīng)上:從輻射化學(xué)到活生物體的反應(yīng)譜和基本機(jī)制，包括遺傳異常、修復(fù)現(xiàn)象、細(xì)胞死亡、劑量修改劑和組織反應(yīng)。將基礎(chǔ)研究應(yīng)用于放射治療的醫(yī)學(xué)用途，將范圍擴(kuò)展至物理和化學(xué)佐劑等實(shí)際問題，以提高放射治療癌癥的有效性。還考慮了對(duì)低劑量輻射危害的評(píng)估。
