A

low LET

xray and gamma

79

high LET

neutrons, protons, and alpha particles

80
Q

what is the dividing line between low and high LET

Time of phases

A 
G1   1-8hrs 
S     6-8hours
G2   2-4 hrs
M  less than 1 hr
total 10-20 hrs
85
Q

direct action

A

radiation interacts directly with critical target within the cell
dominant process of high LET and biologic material

86
Q

Indirect action

A

radiation interacts with other molecules and atoms (mainly water) within the cell to produce free radicals which may diffuse and damage the critical target
2/3 of biologic damage is by low LET due to indirect action

87
Q

possible outcomes of irradiated cells

A

apoptosis, no effect, division delay, and mutation

88
Q

lethal damage

A

irreversible, irreparable, leads to cell death

89
Q

sublethal damage

can be repaired , unless additional damage is added that leads to lethal level

90
Q

potentially lethal damage

A

may be repaired when cells are allowed to remain in a non-dividing state
