Critical look at TDF
Description
Legs of mice were exposed to 137Cs-gamma rays with 4, 8, 16 and 32 equal fractions at various time intervals between doses. The early skin reaction, ulceration and skin contraction were used as end points for the responses of normal tissue to radiation. Isoeffect doses were plotted versus the number of fractions for a given total treatment periods or versus the treatment periods for a given total number of fractions. The exponent of N (or T) in the Ellis' formula was a function of T (or N), suggesting that the Ellis' formula is not applicable for the data presented. (author)
