ELECTRIC POTENTIAL, RESISTANCE AND TEMPERATURE OF THE SKIN AFTER X-RAY IRRADIATION

Journal Article · · Kagoshima Igaku Zasshi
OSTI ID:4044510
The electric resistance, electrostatic potential, and temperature of the skin were measured after x irradiation. Rabbits were exposed to single x-ray doses of 500 to 3,000 r. The electric resistance slightiy decreased just after irradiation. However, it gradually increased again. The electrostatic potential was more or less decreased after x irradiation. The maximum decrease was seen in the erythema stage. Some temperature elevation was observed immedi-ately after irradiation of 200 r. However, after exposure to over 1,500 r the temperature dropped. These influences of x ray appeared milder in cases exposed to fractionated doses. These changes may be due to dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system or circulation disturbance. (Abstr. Japsn.
