Abstract
The incidence of mortality and dose-response relationship for the early and late deaths following irradiation of the head, thorax, and abdomen of rats exposed to single doses of X-rays are given. The radiosensitivity of different biological systems involved after partial-body irradiation is compared. The implications of mortality data following partial-body irradiation for the interpretation of the shortening of life span after whole-body irradiation are discussed.Keywords
