Thirty-two rabbits received a single dose of 750, 1,500, 3,000, or 3,500 rads to the right lung,
while another group received a single dose of 4,500-6,000 rads. Unusual perfusion changes …

Forty-four rabbits were given 3,000 rads to either hemithorax in a single dose. Lung scans
demonstrated decreased perfusion in 52% of the animals at two hours. Perfusion returned to …

Physiologic and anatomic changes following unilateral pulmonary irradiation up to 6,000
rads in dogs were studied. Fractionate irradiation was given to the right lung of 11 dogs …

The pulmonary effects of neutron and gamma irradiation were compared in a group of
beagle dogs that were subjected to hemithorax irradiation with cobalt-60 gamma rays or 15 …

Changes in relative left-to-right lung blood flow ratios were followed as an index of vascular
radiation injury in left-hemithorax-irradiated Sprague-Dawley rats. Single doses of 11 to 21 …

Abnormal pulmonary changes following radiation therapy over the lungs have long been
recognized and frequently described. The object of this paper is not a description of these …

Radiation-induced injury to the lungs is well recognized as a potential complication in the
treatment of patients with carcinomas of the breast, lung, or esophagus; lymphomas; or other …

The effects of fractionated hemithorax irradiation on normal lung tissue were examined by
measuring changes in the vascular permeability surface area product (PS) and relative lung …

An animal model of radiation-induced lung disease was established using male Wistar rats
given sublethal bilateral thoracic irradiation (15 Gy). The rats were studied for up to 20 …

Radiation pneumonitis and pulmonary fibrosis have been described after therapeutic
irradiation over the chest in man, and have been experimentally induced in laboratory …
