COMPARISON OF THE EFFECT OF FRACTIONATION OF X-RAYS AND FAST ELECTRONS

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:4704544
The general aspects of dose fractionation with fast electrons are discussed. The tails of 160 rats were irradiated with x rays and Sr/sup 90/ -Y/ sup 90/ BETA rays. The development of erythema after single and fractionated irradiation was observed. The results indicate that decrease of skin reaction by dose fractionation is more pronounced for BETA rays than for x rays. A time delay for the production of necroses was observed. These results are in agreement with the measurements of Yannakopoulos and Jacabson. The possibilities for application of fractionation in therapy are discussed. (Gmelin Inst.)
