Radiation risks: triumph of the ideal or escape from reality?

Biological effects of low doses of radiation action and especially the problem of quantifying are still the subject of much debate and polar opinions about their hazards for a human and the environment. Nevertheless, the use of risk assessments under the control of the state of health of populations exposed is not widespread in the medical community. Does this indicate the need for revision and improvement of the radiation-epidemiological analysis techniques? Years of experience of the Federal Medical and Biophysical Center n.a. A. I. Burnazyan enable us to answerthis question from the standpoint of accumulated unique knowledge and methodologies by which managed to develop its own approach to optimize a core set of questions relating to the problems of long-term radiological effects of low doses.
