The incidence of mortality ard dose-response relationship for the early and late deaths following irradiation of the head, thorax, and abdomen of rats exposed to single doses of x rays are given. The radiosensitivity of different biological systems involved after partial-body irradiation is compared. The implications of the mortality data following partial-body irradiation for the interpretation of the shortening of life span after whole-body irradiation are discussed. (auth)
