Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute (AFRRI)


The unique resources of the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute enable advancements in the protection of soldiers and citizens. The AFRRI mission is to preserve the health and performance of U.S. military personnel and to protect humankind through research that advances understanding of the effects of ionizing radiation. To these ends, the institute collaborates with other government facilities, academic institutions, and civilian laboratories in the United States and other countries to research the biological effects of ionizing radiation. In addition, it provides medical training and emergency response to manage incidents related to radiation exposure.

Radiation Research Society

The Radiation Research Society's objectives are threefold:

  • To encourage in the broadest manner the advancement of radiation research in all areas of the natural sciences;
  • To facilitate cooperative research between the disciplines of physics, chemistry, biology and medicine in the study of the properties and effects of radiation;
  • To promote dissemination of knowledge in these and related fields through publications, meetings and educational symposia.

The Radiation Information Network

This HomePage is maintained for use by anyone interested in radiation. All material present at this web site has been reviewed and is believed to represent the current consensus of the facts on radiation and radiation protection.

The British Journal of Radiology

The British Journal of Radiology is the official peer-reviewed monthly research journal of the British Institute of Radiology.

The peer-review system ensures that only work of the highest academic standing is accepted for publication. The time from submission to first decision averages 54 days. Accepted papers are normally published rapidly - average handling time is 6 months from acceptance to print publication, while papers can be published online with a DOI and PubMed ID on BJR Advance within 3 months of acceptance.

It is a multidisciplinary journal covering all clinical and technical aspects of diagnostic imaging, radiotherapy and oncology, medical physics and radiobiology. The multidisciplinary approach of the journal enables readers to keep up-to-date with developments in their own as well as related fields.

BJR is essential reading for radiologists, medical physicists, radiotherapists, radiographers and radiobiologists.

The journal publishes original Research Papers from leading centres internationally. It also contains Editorials, Commentaries, Review Articles, Case Reports, Short Communications, Pictorial Reviews, Letters to the Editor, Book Reviews, and a Case of the Month feature.
