Chromosome preparations were obtained from invitro leukocyte culture and air drying method. Types of chromosome aberration rates were analyzed according to the radiation dose. Two types of abnormal chromosomes, dicentric and acentric chromosomes, were observed in the leukocytes. The polyploid cells were also found in the experimental groups. (author)
