Ionizing radiation can strip atoms of their electrons. That means it has enough energy to damage tissue at the molecular level. In humans, this damage can lead to a range of issues, including cancer.

This included clinically realistic simulation studies, including a virtual clinical trial, in which they simulated the imaging of 50 patients with prostate cancer that had spread to the bone.
