RBE is used to denote the experimentally determined ratio of the absorbed dose from one radiation type to the absorbed dose of a reference radiation required to produce an identical biologic effect under the same conditions. Gamma rays from cobalt-60 and 200-250 keV x-rays have been used as reference standards. The term RBE has been widely used in experimental radiobiology, and the term quality factor used in calculations of dose equivalents for radiation safety purposes (ICRP 1977 NCRP 1971 UNSCEAR 1982). RBE applies only to a specific biological end point, in a specific exposure, under specific conditions to a specific species. There are no generally accepted values of RBE.

Whereas Table 2 presents some radiation terms that are pertinent to the following discussion, Table 3 lists the radioisotopes and their half-lives that are suitable to microautoradiography. Of the two types of nuclear radiation, i.e., wavelike electromagnetic radiation (X-ray and gamma ray) and corpuscular radiation (electrons, beta particles, and alpha particles) the latter are the most employable for microautoradiography. The reader is referred to Slater (20) for in-depth discussion of all aspects of radiobiology.

Astatine-211 (ti/2 = 7.21 hours) possesses many of the desired physical (Fig. 5), chemical, and radiobiological properties thought pertinent to its possible application in cancer therapy (26,33,34,36,40). Astatine-211 decays along two branches (1) by direct a-particle decay (41.94 + 0.50% 5.87 MeV) to (tj/j = 38 years), which decays by electron...
