Description

Lenses of mice irradiated with 250 MeV protons, 670 MeV/amu 20Ne, 600 MeV/amu 56Fe, 350 MeV/amu 56Fe, 600 MeV/amu 93Nb or 593 MeV/amu 139La ions were evaluated by analysing cytopathological indicators which have been implicated in the cataractogenic process. The LETs ranged from 0.39 to 953 keV/μm and the fluences from 1.31 x 103/mm2 to 5.12 x 107/mm2. The lenses were assessed 64 weeks post-irradiation in order to observe the late effects of LET and dose on the target cell population of the lens' epithelium. Results showed that growth-dependent pathological changes occurred at the cellular level as a function of dose and LET. (author)
