Susceptibility to Total Body Irradiation

  • Chapter
Response of Different Species to Total Body Irradiation

Part of the book series: Series in Radiology ((SERA,volume 10))

Abstract

The susceptibility of human beings to total body irradiation (TBI) can be estimated approximately from experience obtained in nuclear warfare, in accidents with the peaceful use of nuclear energy and in clinical studies employing TBI in cancer patients. This information is documented and reexamined by other authors in these proceedings.
