Linear No-Threshold (LNT) Model: Explained!

Stochastic vs Deterministic Effects: https://youtu.be/92wXw7-zbvA
Effective Dose: https://youtu.be/E5phnH6harY

In this video, I talk about the Linear No-Threshold (LNT) model, its significance in assessing cancer risk from varying doses of ionising radiation, and its implications in medical diagnostics and radiological protection. I also talk about the debate surrounding the LNT model, exploring alternative theories and the complexities of understanding radiation effects at low doses. Enjoy!

WHO AM I:
I'm Sahand, a Lecturer and Radiographer (and now YouTuber?) in Sydney AUS. I received my PhD (Medicine and Health) in 2023 on breast cancer imaging and radiation dose. I'm a lifelong learner, forever curious about the day to day things, and I'm here to make videos and give you my own unique take on the concepts that you may need some extra help with.
