Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Radiation Research publishes studies on various aspects of radiation, including its therapeutic applications in cancer treatment, such as carbon-ion radiotherapy, proton beam therapy, and stereotactic body radiotherapy. Research also explores the biological effects of radiation, including normal tissue toxicity, cell-sparing effects, and immune system responses. The journal investigates novel radiation techniques, dose optimization, and the development of new radiosensitizing agents. Additionally, it covers radiation protection measures for medical personnel and the application of advanced technologies like deep learning and large language models in radiotherapy.
