Article Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has gained significant attention in various scientific fields due to its ability to process large datasets. In nuclear radiation physics, while AI presents exciting opportunities, it cannot replace physics-based models essential for explaining radiation interactions with matter. To combine the strengths of both, we have developed and open-sourced the Radiation Protection Toolkit for Radioisotopes with Artificial Intelligence (RAPTOR-AI). This toolkit integrates AI with the Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System (PHITS) Monte Carlo package, enabling rapid radiation protection analysis for radioisotopes and structural shielding. RAPTOR-AI is particularly valuable for emergency scenarios, allowing quick dose dispersion assessments when a facility's structural map is available, enhancing safety and response efficiency.

The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a key measure of renal function, typically estimated using creatinine-based equations. More precise clearance measurements are obtained with radiotracers, such as [Tc]Tc-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), and blood samples over several hours. However, standard plasma clearance methods require labor-intensive plasma preparation, limiting efficiency in clinical practice.

The System of Radiological Protection (the "System") developed by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is built on nearly a century of efforts of numerous scientists and practitioners working together internationally. It rests on three enduring pillars: science, ethics, and experience. These pillars support the three fundamental principles that shape radiological protection strategies: justification, optimisation, and application of dose limits.

The role of individual characteristics of human subjects on the radiation burden of the bronchial airways from radon progeny.

Variability in radiation-related health risk and genetic susceptibility to radiation effects within a population is a key issue for radiation protection. Besides differences in the health and biological effects of the same radiation dose, individual variability may also affect dose distribution and its consequences for the same exposure. As exposure to radon progeny affects a large population and has a well-established dose-effect relationship, investigating individual variability upon radon exposure may be particularly important.
