Abstract
The effect of total-body X-irradiation was studied in 16 rabbits for 3.5 to 24 months after 200 to 800 r. The radiosensitivity of the epithelium of the crystalline lens is very marked. The lens opacities after the irradiation were identical with those previously observed after local irradiation of the eye. After small cataract-producing doses the lens opacities may be the only remaining sign of injury.Keywords
