INHOMOGENEITY OF DOSE DISTRIBUTION IN ANIMALS SUBJECTED TO WHOLE BODY IRRADIATION WITH 250 Kv X-RAYS

OSTI ID:4702847
BS>Even though bi-lateral or more complicated exposure procedures are of considerable importance in total-body exposure of large animals or man, these measures may not result in even approximately the same dose to different tissues. Because of body contour, depth-dose x ray patterns determined in a rice-and-wax phantom contoured to the shape of a dog were appreciably different from the calculated values based on published standard depth-dose tables. In addition to differences due to contour, the tissue traversed by the beam makes considerable difference. Depth-dose patterns in a cadaver dog, compared with the contoured rice-phantom, differed by as much as plus or minus 30%. (auth)
