Abstract

Radiation applied for therapy and diagnostics damages molecular/atomic couples of biotissues, bones being among them. As a result, electron peculiarities and mechanical behavior of the latter are altered. Correlation between strength of the irradiated bone and its electron features explored due to photo- and exoelectron emission measurements is reviewed.
