Field size effects on DNA damage and proliferation in normal human cell populations irradiated with X-ray microbeams

Abstract To clarify the health risks of internal radiation exposure, it is important to investigate the radiological effects of local exposure at cell levels from radioactive materials taken up by organs. Focusing on the response of cell populations post-irradiation, X-ray microbeams are very effect...
