Acute radiation syndrome (ARS) also known as radiation poisoning, radiation sickness or radiation toxicity, is a syndrome or group of health effects which occur within months of exposure to high amounts of ionizing radiation.[1][2] The term generally refers to acute (serious, rapid onset) problems rather than ones that develop after a prolonged period.[3][4][5] It is mainly damage to the blood, digestive system, and nervous system.

Both dose and dose rate contribute to the severity of acute radiation syndrome. The effects of dose fractionation or rest periods before repeated exposure also shift the LD50 dose upwards.
