Cyclotron fast neutron RBE for late kidney damage. 1978

J P Geraci, and P D Thrower, and M Mariano

Decrease in kidney weight six months after unilateral kidney exposure to single doses of neutrons or x rays has been studied. The relative biological effectiveness for late kidney damage was 1.7 at a neutron dose of 1,000 rads.

D009502 Neutrons Electrically neutral elementary particles found in all atomic nuclei except light hydrogen; the mass is equal to that of the proton and electron combined and they are unstable when isolated from the nucleus, undergoing beta decay. Slow, thermal, epithermal, and fast neutrons refer to the energy levels with which the neutrons are ejected from heavier nuclei during their decay. Neutron

D011882 Radiotherapy, High-Energy Radiotherapy using high-energy (megavolt or higher) ionizing radiation. Types of radiation include gamma rays, produced by a radioisotope within a teletherapy unit; x-rays, electrons, protons, alpha particles (helium ions) and heavy charged ions, produced by particle acceleration; and neutrons and pi-mesons (pions), produced as secondary particles following bombardment of a target with a primary particle.
