The effects of dose-fractionation on radiation-induced heart disease in rats. 1987

S Lauk, and S Rüth, and K R Trott

The hearts of Wistar rats were irradiated locally with a range of total doses given in 1, 3, 5 or 10 fractions in 4 weeks. As even after the lowest single dose of 17.5 Gy all animals died within 18 months after irradiation from heart failure, no ED50 could be determined. Therefore, the mean survival time following irradiation was chosen as isoeffect for the comparison of different treatment groups. Fractionation has a marked sparing effect on the radiation-induced heart disease. For an isoeffect of a mean survival time of 42 weeks an alpha/beta of 1 Gy was found.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011829 Radiation Dosage The amount of radiation energy that is deposited in a unit mass of material, such as tissues of plants or animal. In RADIOTHERAPY, radiation dosage is expressed in gray units (Gy). In RADIOLOGIC HEALTH, the dosage is expressed by the product of absorbed dose (Gy) and quality factor (a function of linear energy transfer), and is called radiation dose equivalent in sievert units (Sv).
