Effects of dose fractionation on late roentgen radiation damage of rat small intestine. 1983

M Hauer Jensen, and T Sauer, and F Devik, and K Nygaard

In female Wistar rats a 10 cm long exteriorized mid small intestinal segment was roentgen irradiated. Nominal standard radiation doses were 17 and 19 Gy, given as a single exposure and in 2 and 3 fractions with intervals of 48 hours. Animals were killed and examined in groups of 3 every 6 weeks from 8 to 44 weeks following irradiation. Macroscopic and histopathologic parameters of irradiation injury were used to calculate an injury score for each animal. In the 2 fractions group both mortality and irradiation injury score were higher than in the single exposure and 3 fractions groups. The difference was due in particular to persisting mucosal ulcerations and epithelial atypia. Adenocarcinoma of the irradiated intestine was found in 4 animals.

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).
