Abstract
The results of a comparative study of heavy particles of interest in radiotherapy are reported in four parts. In this Part III, cell-survival measurements under aerobic and hypoxic conditions were made for various heavy particle beams. For heavy charged-particle beams, the measurements were made at the beam entrance (plateau), peak centre (10 cm wide peaks), and distal peak (1 cm from dose fall-off). Chinese hamster cells (V79) were used. Metabolic depletion was used to obtain hypoxia.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
