The extent of dose-sparing that occurs in a variety of cell lines and in vivo cell systems as a
results of a reduction in dose-rate is reviewed. The emphasis is on the range from around …

Pulmonary complications and graft‐vs.‐host disease (GVHD) remain severe threats to
survival after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Idiopathic pneumonia syndrome (IPS) …

The effect of low dose-rate total body irradiation (TBI) on hemopoietic and nonhemopoietic
lethality has been studied in BALB/c mice using dose-rates ranging from 25 to 1 cGy/min …

This paper discusses the lung response to irradiation in the context of accidental radiation
exposure. The lung is a relatively radiation sensitive organ with a response to irradiation that …

This study was designed to compare several fractionation and dose rate schedules to
optimize the therapeutic ratio for total body irradiation (TBI). C3H/HeJ mice were given TBI …

The thorax of CBA mice was exposed to 60 Co γ-rays at dose rates ranging from 100 to 2
cGy/min. Iso-effectdoses (ED 50) were calculated for early and late lung damage from dose …

To investigate the possibility of using computerized tomography (CT) as a prognostic
indicator of radiation induced lung toxicity, a series of CT scans were performed on one …

High dose whole body irradiation is commonly included in conditioning regimens for bone
marrow transplantation for treatment of patients with hematological malignancies. Interstitial …

The biological effects of continuous low dose-rate irradiation and fractionated high dose-rate
irradiation in interstitial and intracavitary radiotherapy and total body irradiation are …

General equations for fractionated protracted irradiation have been applied to the analysis of
mouse lung data derived from isoeffect protocols. The data were accrued from a spectrum of …
