Therapeutics gamma irradiation

J.S. Mitchell, Increase in ultra-violet absorption of cytoplasm after therapeutic X- and gamma-irradiation. Nature 146, 272-273 (1940)... [Pg.142]

Deterministic irradiation is applied in nuclear medicine for therapeutic purposes (chapter 19). For tumour treatment, large doses are delivered to selected tissues. Gamma rays emitted by °Co (up to 2 lO " Bq) or Cs (up to 2 lO Bq) are preferred for irradiation of deeply located organs. The doses transmitted to malignant tumours vary between about 10 and 100 Sv, and the individual responses of patients to certain radiation doses may vary appreciably. [Pg.425]
