Radiation is energy in transit as electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles, spanning a continuum from low-energy non-ionizing forms such as radiofrequency, microwave and infrared to high-energy ionizing forms including X-rays, gamma rays and particle beams capable of ejecting electrons from atoms. In medicine and the physical sciences this duality is exploited for diagnostic imaging, therapeutic ablation of disease, sterilization and materials analysis, while the ionizing capacity that makes radiation useful also necessitates dosimetry and radiation protection. Quantification of absorbed and entrance doses, characterization of source-matter interaction, and assessment of biological effect are therefore core concerns. Work in this area covers entrance surface dose measurement in paediatric chest radiography, household radiation exposure and safety after radioiodine ablation, attenuation of microcystins using electron beams and gamma radiation, the interaction of concentrated solar radiation with materials, brachytherapy comparison in cervical cancer, combined radiation therapy and immunotherapy in melanoma, biological effects of high radiofrequency radiation in a rodent model, thermal radiation in nanofluid convective flow, dual-energy computed tomography in renal calculi, and natural nuclear reactors in relation to microbial evolution. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research on radiation physics, dosimetry, biological effects and radiation-based diagnosis and therapy.
