The radiation sensitivity of some bone segments and especially of the growth zones of white rats was examined with the help of Ca/sup 45/. The deviations in the specific activities corresponded not only to the delivered dosage but also to the growth activity of some of the bone segments. After large radiation doses and in more activity growth zones the radiation damage was also greater. These results should give reason in the clinical practice for greater caution in radiation treatment in the area of strongly growing epiphyseal zones (in the area of knee and wrist joints). (auth)
