  • Title: Single dose fast neutron RBE for pulmonary and esophageal damage in mice.
    Author: Geraci JP, Jackson KL, Christensen GM, Parker RG, Thrower PD, Fox M.
    Journal: Radiology; 1976 Sep; 120(3):701-3. PubMed ID: 948606.
    Abstract:
    Mice whose thoraxes were exposed to cyclotron neutrons or x rays died from esophagus damage 10 to 70 days after exposure, and from pulmonary damage 70 days to 6 months after exposure. The single exposure RBE for esophagus lethality was 1.9 at at a neutron dose of 1,475 rads and 1.6 for pulmonary lethality at a neutron dose of 950 rads. The significance of these values for neutron radiotherapy of the thorax is discussed.
