The Effect of 29 kV X Rays on the Dose Response of Chromosome Aberrations in Human Lymphocytes
1 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
The induction of chromosome aberrations in human lymphocytes irradiated in vitro with X rays generated at a tube voltage of 29 kV was examined to assess the maximum low-dose RBE (RBE(M)) relative to higher-energy X rays or 60Co gamma rays. Since blood was taken from the same male donor whose blood had been used for previous irradiation experiments using widely varying photon energies, the greatest possible...
