SU‐FF‐T‐373: Relative Biological Effectiveness of 30 KV X‐Rays for Micro‐Nucleated Reticulocyte Induction in Mice, in Vivo
Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of low energy (30 kV) mammography x‐rays, in vivo, by measuring the induction of micro‐nucleated reticulocytes (MN‐Ret) at low doses. Method and Materials: A total of 40 mice were used in this experiment: 15 were exposed to 30 kV x‐rays, 15 were exposed to 662 keV gamma rays and 10 were used as controls. The irradiated mice got either 50 or 100 mGy of their respective radiation …
