AN ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF TOTAL BODY X-IRRADIATION OF THE BODY WEIGHT OF WHITE SWISS MICE. III. BODY WEIGHT CHANGES OF FEMALE MICE AS A BIOLOGICAL DOSIMETER
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4255325
A dosimetric techniques using percent weight change as a biological indicator of x radiation dose, has been tested on a group of 640 female mice. The technique was originally developed on a group of 1007 male mices so that the present analysis constitutes an independent repeat verification of the first study. Not only do these two independent studies agree in indicating that the dosage of x radiation can be satisfactorily estimated from percent body-weight changes, but the empirical constants of the estimating equations were found to be remarkably similar in the two cases.
