Low dose radiation is a matter of great interest to researchers and public owing to its much debated risk to human health. However, the beneficial aspects of low dose radiation are relativity unexplored mainly to due to fear and phobia caused by Linear Non-Threshold model of radiation risk assessment. The book brings out scientific aspects of hermetic effect, risk of cancer and non-malignant diseases after exposure of external radiation as well as after internalization of radionuclides. The book also covers the radiobiological and clinical angles of low dose radiation for the therapy of non-malignant diseases, Covid-19 and cancer.
