Efficacy of Single and Fractionated Neutron Irradiation of Normal and Tumor Cells In Vitro
摘要
We studied the effect of 14.5 MeV neutron dose ultrafractionation on survival and recovery kinetics from radiation damage in normal V-79 and tumor B14-150 cells. Neutron doses of 0.5, 2, 4, and 6 Gy were split into 1, 2, 3, and 4 fractions. The observed recovery times 1.6 h (V-79) and 0.94 h (B14-150) indicate the possibility of reducing radiation damage with increasing the number of fractions. It was shown that neutron irradiation efficacy decreases when intervals between fractions exceed 1 h.
