Effects of continuous irradiation by 226Ra and 90Sr on hematopoiesis

Creators

Description

The effects of continuous radiation on hematopoiesis by the internal emitters 226Ra and 90Sr were examined. The effect on granulopoiesis appeared most profound. Extensive effects on blood platelets were observed with 90Sr, but not with 226Ra. Neither radionuclide at the dose levels utilized resulted in compromised erythropoiesis. The changes occurred in the absence of any significant radiation dose to extramedullary sites. The results are discussed with respect to known mechanisms of hematopoiesis
