Implications of the implementation of the reduced dose limits for the lens of the eye: an IRPA activity

The radiosensitivity of the lens of the eye is a topic that has been discussed in the scientific community for many years. It is a fact that acute radiation exposures of several Gy cause cataracts. However, recent studies indicated that there might be a significant risk of lens opacities at lower do...

Zusammenfassung:	The radiosensitivity of the lens of the eye is a topic that has been discussed in the scientific community for many years. It is a fact that acute radiation exposures of several Gy cause cataracts. However, recent studies indicated that there might be a significant risk of lens opacities at lower doses.
