Increased Relative Biological Effectiveness of Orthovoltage X-rays Compared to γ-rays in Preclinical Irradiation

2022-02-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Purpose</h4> Radionuclide irradiators ( 137 Cs and 60 Co) are commonly used in preclinical studies ranging from cancer therapy to stem cell biology. There are institutional initiatives to replace radionuclide sources with lower-energy X-ray sources amidst concerns of radiological terrorism. As researchers transition, there are questions whether the biological effects of γ-rays may be recapitulated with orth...
