Dosimetry for measurement of the relative biological effectiveness of photons from encapsulated 125iodine using C3H 10T1/2 cells

Description
A new determination of the RBE of 125Iodine photons has now been done here using plateau phase mouse C3H/10T1/2 cells. The apparatus and dosimetry technique for the new study were basically the same as for the earlier measurements with two exceptions: commercial polystyrene cell culture dishes were used instead of special home-made dishes and, although dose rates were measured as well as calculated, this time we used the calculated dose rates. The significance of these two changes are discussed. 30 references
