Title: OFFICE RADIOBIOLOGY AND THE TEST OF DIVIDED-DOSE IRRADIATION

Journal Article · · Am. J. Roentgenol., Radium Therapy Nucl. Med.
OSTI ID:4683443

A simple and quantitatively accurate radiobiologic test system for office use by the clinical radiotherapist is described. Radiation inhibition of Lemna minor, or duckweed grown in an aquarium, forms the basis of the test system. Results are reported from radiation-inhibition studies using this system with time-dose variables appropriate to the radiation dose. The system proved adequate for testing the relative biologic effectiveness of the various quantities of radiation employed in clinical radiotherapy. (C.H.)
